This is an heirloom seed, meaning it has been passed down from generation to generation for at least 75 years. As a rule, heirloom seeds taste better and will grow the same year after year.

These are also open pollinated meaning they will reproduce themselves. While all heirlooms are open pollinated not all open pollinated seeds are heirlooms.

Freshly Packed: These artichoke seeds are packed for the current growing season and will provide high germination rates next year as well.

Start indoors, using grow lights (make sure to follow manufactures instructions), 3 to 4 weeks before last frost. Sow seeds 1/4 inch in a 4 x 4 x 4 pot filled 3/4 of the way with germination mix.

Transplant out when danger of frost has passed and plants are 6 to 12 inches tall. Use a hardening off technique before planting in the ground.

Plant roots plus one inch of stem and no deeper. Use Medina Ag HastaGro Plant fertilizer to help prevent transplant shock. Keep moist down to one inch.

Water first couple of days then follow a normal routine. Do not water every day.

Must be planted in a spot where they will get 8 to 10 hours of direct sunlight. If they do not get enough light, plants will tend to be leggy. They will grow tall and not produce as expected.

Regardless of color or variety, artichokes are ready to harvest when the buds begin to slightly open. Artichoke stems are thick and will need a pruning knife to harvest.

Unharvested artichoke buds will bloom into a stunning 3 to 5 inch wide thistle though no longer being edible. Lower buds on the stalk will not mature to be as large as the top buds but can be harvested when about 3 inches in diameter.

You can let a plant or two go to seed and save the Green Globe artichoke seeds for furture use.
