Artichoke Green Globe Improved Seeds

As its name suggests, Artichoke Green Globe Improved is an improved hybrid version of the popular Green Globe variety of artichoke. The variety Artichoke Green Globe Improved produces larger, heavier and generally higher quality fruit than the more traditional varieties, making it a popular choice with growers. The deliciously tasty hearts of this variety are edible raw and pickled and the basal regions of young leaves are also edible. Artichoke plants are a great addition to any flower or vegetable garden as the unharvested fruit gives way to beautiful purple flowers that also attract butterflies and bees.
