It produces tall stems topped with small yellow blooms in late summer, adding bold structure and a pollinator-friendly presence to the garden. The tubers are harvested in fall and enjoyed roasted, puréed, or raw for their crisp, earthy taste.\u003cbr\u003e\nGrown as both an ornamental and an edible crop, sunchoke works well at the back of a border or in a dedicated vegetable patch. Plants spread readily through underground tubers and can form dense colonies, so choose a site where their natural colonizing habit is welcome. Tubers store best in the ground over winter and can be lifted as needed.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Helianthus tuberosus\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Sunchoke\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Perennial tuber\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Tall upright stems, 6 to 10 feet\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-drained, loose soil\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: 120 to 150 days\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 3 to 9\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: 10 to 21 days at 65 to 75F\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Start indoors 4 to 6 weeks before last frost or direct sow after frost\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 12 to 18 inches\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Tubers form in late summer and are harvested after foliage dies back\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663351283848,"sku":"EXGA-1195","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_1f4fa274-8d00-46e0-9230-01db2d28eb1b.png?v=1791896744","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/5-seeds-sunchoke-helianthus-tuberosus-jerusalem-artichoke-tubers","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
