Green Globe is the classic artichoke—big, tight buds with tender hearts and meaty scales. A perennial in mild climates, often grown as an annual elsewhere with an early start. High in fiber and cynarin, artichokes have long been used for liver support. Start indoors very early, vernalize with cool temps, then set out. Harvest buds before they open. Let one bloom and you’ll see why bees adore them.

How to Grow

Start seed indoors 8-12 weeks before your anticipated planting date. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 70-80
°f
. Set transplants in the garden after danger of frost has passed. Time transplanting so plants receive exposure to about a dozen nights of sub-50
°f
temperatures to induce budding.
