What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Green Globe Artichoke Seeds produce a classic perennial vegetable prized for its large, flavorful flower buds and striking garden presence. These robust plants grow 4–6 feet tall and develop beautiful green buds accented with light purple tips. Well-suited for outdoor gardens, Green Globe artichokes thrive in full sun and tolerate light shade, rewarding patient gardeners with dependable harvests year after year in regions with mild winters.

Beautiful, Long-Lived Perennial Plants:

  • Tall, architectural plants reaching 4–6 feet at maturity
  • Produces large green buds with subtle purple highlights
  • Perennial growth habit allows plants to live and produce for multiple years
  • Performs best outdoors in full sun, with tolerance for partial shade

Why Customers Love Green Globe Artichokes:

  • Grows into an impressive, ornamental vegetable plant
  • Produces 3–4 edible artichoke heads per plant each year
  • Buds can be enjoyed fresh, cooked, or preserved
  • Ideal for gardeners looking to establish a long-term perennial crop

How to Grow and Use:
Green Globe Artichoke seeds benefit from cold stratification to improve germination. Before planting, place seeds on a damp paper towel, roll it up, and store it in the refrigerator for 2–3 weeks to simulate winter conditions. After stratification, sow seeds indoors or outdoors following standard seed-starting practices. Once established, plants require space, consistent watering, and full sun to support their large size and bud production. Harvest buds while they are still tight for the best flavor and texture.

Harvest & Kitchen Use:
Artichoke buds can be stuffed and cooked whole, steamed, or boiled. The tender hearts may also be harvested and canned or frozen for future meals, making this crop both practical and rewarding for home gardeners.
