Growing Artichokes in Georgia: A Marginal Crop Worth Trying

Artichokes prefer cool, stable temperatures—California's coast, not Georgia's roller-coaster climate. But determined gardeners can attempt them.

Best Approach

  • Start from rooted cuttings (not seed)—Baroda Farms (888-955-6529) ships plants
  • Plant early fall or early spring
  • Provide freeze protection (row covers, cold frames)
  • Hope for long, mild shoulder seasons

Dr. George Boyhan (UGA) experiments with marginal crops. You might harvest a few—but don't plan meals around it.
