A wonderfully dramatic plant, quite hardy if you live in a cooler area. Often grown for their crispy edible stalks and mid-ribs, the young buds can be eaten like Artichoke hearts. They are an ingredient in traditional French cooking but have been known for their edible qualities since Roman times. Price for 6 seeds. |

This is generally grown as a perennial in mild areas and as an annual where ground freezes although a good winter mulch may help overwinter in hard frost areas. These stately architectural plants need plenty of room and make wonderful specimen plants in your borders as well as your veg plot. This improved strain has excellent quality tight compact good sized heads. Harvest these before the bracts open. Cut the top one first, then the secondary ones as they mature. Price for 6 seeds. |
