Green Globe Artichoke (Cynara scolymus) is a prized heirloom variety, known for its attractive, vigorous growth and deliciously tender, nutty-flavored edible flower buds. Plants grow into striking perennials (typically grown as annuals in colder climates) featuring deeply lobed, silvery-green leaves. Green Globe produces large, globe-shaped artichokes with thick, fleshy scales, making them perfect for gourmet cooking. This versatile vegetable adds culinary elegance to gardens and kitchens, whether steamed, grilled, stuffed, or enjoyed in classic dips.

Uses

  • Appetizers & Dips: Ideal for classic dishes like spinach-artichoke dip or stuffed artichokes baked with savory fillings.

Growing Instructions

Start seeds indoors 4–12 weeks before your area's last frost date, providing consistent warmth (70–80°F) and moisture for germination. Transplant outdoors after frost danger has passed, spacing plants 3–4 feet apart in rich, deep, and well-drained soil. Green Globe Artichokes prefer full sun and regular watering, but avoid waterlogged conditions. In colder climates, protect plants with mulch or row covers to encourage early bud formation and harvest during the first growing season. In zones 7 and warmer, plants reliably return each year as perennials, producing abundant crops annually.
