Artichoke 'Green Globe'

Globe Artichoke 'Green Globe' is a stately and ornamental perennial, prized for its large, edible flower buds (chokes) with a delicate, nutty flavour. It's an architectural plant in the garden. Reaching an ultimate height of 1.5m and a spread of 1m, this hardy perennial (H5) can provide harvests for many years. It thrives in full sun and deep, rich, well-drained soil. The large, thistle-like purple flowers, if left to bloom, are a magnet for bees. An RHS AGM holder, 'Green Globe' offers both culinary delight and dramatic structural presence in the border.
