10 Seeds Artichoke Green Globe Heirloom Vegetable Garden Plant

Green Globe Artichoke is a classic heirloom variety grown for its large, flavorful flower buds and bold architectural foliage. A striking addition to the vegetable patch or ornamental border, it develops silvery-green, deeply lobed leaves and tall stems topped with rounded buds that are harvested before they open.

Enjoy buds steamed, boiled, or stuffed, and harvest them young for the most tender texture. Plants grow as robust perennials in mild climates and are often grown as annuals where winters are cold, forming a bold, thistle-like accent in beds and containers.
