ARTICHOKE - GREEN GLOBE

ARTICHOKE - GREEN GLOBE

Cynara scolymu

This artichoke is a vigorous plant that will grow to
around 2m in height The chokes are usually very
round to slightly flattened in shape and vary in
from a greyish green to medium green in colour.
The chokes themselves have large hearts and
thick leaves. It is a very decorative plant but when
planted so that it acts as a windbreak or background
plant it looks very attractive. It will produce good
quantities of delicious tasting food which is said to
have more antioxidants than any other vegetable.
The seeds should be planted 1cm deep in trays of
deep seedraising mix with plenty of space
separating the seeds. Transplant the seedlings
into the garden when they are about 15-20cm tall.
Plant them at least 1m apart in rows 2m apart or
individually in corners etc. They make a lovely
show in the flower garden with their striking form.
