Improved Green Globe Artichoke

Grow your own tender artichokes! This improved variety produces large, edible flower buds at the tops of sturdy stalks. Harvest buds before they open for culinary use. If left unharvested, the buds unfurl into spectacular purple, thistle-like flowers that are excellent for fresh or dried arrangements.
