An attractive variety of Artichoke that will return every year for a repeat crop. The large purple skinned flower buds will be ready to harvest in the summer. Can be grown in allotments or at the back of borders due to their impressive height. Grow globe artichoke plants in rich fertile, well drained soil in full sun with protection from strong winds. Direct sow globe artichoke seed outdoors from March to April when the soil has warmed up. Sow into a well prepared seedbed, with 2-3 seeds per station in drills 30cm (12”) apart. When large enough to handle, thin out seedlings. The thinnings can be transplanted. Globe artichoke seed sown outdoors will usually flower the year after sowing.
