Cynara scolymus 'Green Globe'
Green Globe Artichoke

  • Along the Southern California coast, the main season for harvesting artichokes is mid to late spring. But if you cut the old flower stalks back after spring harvest, you can get another crop in the fall. Be sure you give plants plenty of room to grow in full sun on the coast or with a little afternoon shade in warmer inland areas. Green Globe is an old favorite that is usually available as dormant roots in winter. \'Imperial Star\' is an improved low-chill, heat-tolerant variety that you can grow from seed starting in September for harvest the next spring.
