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.

"This is a beautiful garden store in Ft. Collins, Colo. This isn't a discount store but the quality of their plants and merchandise are good quality. We are a cactus/succulent family and we found some very healthy plants, some different than we have found previously. Large facility broken up into manageable rooms for browsing. The employees are there if you need them and the young man at the register was pleasant, knowledgeable and accommodating. If you enjoy spending time at a nursery/garden store there is no reason not to enjoy the Bath Garden Center."
