Artichoke Green & Purple (Heirloom)
Cynara scolymus
Days to maturity: 180 - 240. Many gardeners believe they can't grow artichokes in their climate - but it's actually quite easy to grow them just about anywhere if you have the space. The secret is to start them indoors very early, so they will have enough time to form buds. Two wonderful varieties - the short season "Green Globe Improved" and the coveted Italian delicacy "Purple of Romagna." Tender perennial grown as an annual in cold climates.
This packet plants approximately 18 plants.
Days to Emerge: 14
Seed Depth: 1/8"
Seed Spacing: A group of 3 seeds every 4' - 6'
Row Spacing: 8'
Thinning: When 1" tall thin to 1 every 4' - 6'
When to sow outside: Cold climates: Not recommended. Mild climates: Sow in fall for harvest the following spring.
When to start inside: Cold climates: Sow in 4" pots 12 weeks before your average last spring frost date. Transplant outside after average last frost. Mild climates: Sow in 4" pots in early fall. Transplant outdoors 6 weeks before average first frost.
