Botanical Interests Green Globe Improved Artichoke

Grow artichokes anywhere, even in northern gardens. This variety has a more uniform plant size, reduced spines, and better production—an improvement of the original, 1863 heirloom, 'Green Globe'. Provide plenty of room and fertile soil and you'll be rewarded with 3 to 5 fresh, delicious artichokes.

Sowing Information:

  • Light: Full sun to partial shade
  • When to Start Inside: RECOMMENDED. Sow in 4-inch biodegradable pots 12 weeks before your average last spring frost date. Transplant outside 4 weeks before your average last frost date. The ideal soil temperature for germination is 70°–80°F. Protect seedlings from frost. 
  • When to Sow Outside: Not recommended.
  • Seed Depth: Plant seeds ⅛–¼ inch deep.
  • Seed Spacing: A group of 3 seeds every 4 feet
  • Thinning: Thin to 1 every 4 feet
  • Days to Germinate: 14 days
  • Days to Maturity: 150–180 days

Growing Notes:

  • Harvesting: For eating, harvest buds when they are still tightly closed, just before they begin to open (opened heads are tough). Cut the central bud first by cutting the stem with a sharp knife 2 inches below the bud. After harvesting, side shoots will produce smaller harvestable buds (a unique delicacy!).
  • Variety Information: Dark green with a slightly purple base. Heavy bearing. Very few spines. Bears 3 to 5 artichokes per plant in the first year.

"Bath always has answers on garden or flower questions. I stop by every visit to FOCO."

"It was our third class at Bath Garden Center. It's always so much fun for me and my kids. Everybody is very friendly and it's always very fun. We'll keep going to your classes. Highly recommend!"

"Every time I've gone into this place has been a lovely time. Their plant selection is terrific, with beautiful sculptures and even turtles hanging out! Took a class with Evan today and made bookmarks, I plan on coming back to take more classes."

"Every time I walk into Bath I’m greeted by the kindest and most helpful people! Additionally they have a fantastic selection of everything you can think of! (I’ve even bought clothing and jewelry here! It’s much more than just a nursery). Today I had the good fortune of being greeted and helped by Wyatt. I went in with absolutely no idea what to do with my garden spaces…they’re huge and overwhelming. I showed Wyatt photos of my spaces and jokingly asked Wyatt if he could just design my spaces for me….and he replied “yes!”….he took me around, asked what I liked, told me how to mix color, grasses and heights, etc…he was a wealth of info and help! I’m so grateful and I love how it all turned out! Thank you, Bath, for having great products, and a special BIG shoutout to Wyatt! You are awesome!!! (Also, Wyatt should get a bonus because I walked out with 22 perennials😂)."
