Product Description
Perennial Artichokes don't come 100% true from seed, you will get slight variation in shape and colour, but from our selection of seeds you'll get plenty of quick-cropping plants for your garden. Gros Vert de Laon took me years to find. This rare, mid to late season, traditional French variety, has the largest hearts of any artichoke, hugely fat and delicious. Use the vast hearts in artichoke tempura (see p119 Garden Cookbook)
- Sow: March-July
- Seeds: 30
Sowing: Need a well-drained, rich soil and full sun. Sow under cover in early March - July. Plant out when roots fill a 9cm pot. They can also be sown direct in July Final Planting Distance: 60cm Harvesting: May produce small artichokes in first summer but remove these ot eat at golf ball size. Don't allow them to grow to full size as they will hamper the development of the plant. The harvest in the following years will be most prolific in July. Pick when scales are tightly closed to be at their best for eating or allow to flower if you want to use them in arrangements.
