Globe Artichoke 'Green Globe Improved' produces larger, heavier, and consistently high-quality globe-shaped heads. This improved variety features significantly reduced sharp spines, making it easier to handle. The delicious hearts are a supreme delicacy when pickled, and the bases of the leaves are also edible. This majestic perennial vegetable is an attractive addition to any vegetable plot and is equally ideal for the flower garden, where it attracts bees with its thistle-like flowers if left unharvested. Height: 180cm (71"). Spread: 75cm (30"). Supplied as 1 x Packet of 40 Seeds.
