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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.

You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.

Are your seeds treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

In what zones can I grow your seeds?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?

Our seeds will generally last for 3-10 years if they are appropriately stored in a cool, dry place. However, we encourage you to grow your survival seeds within a year or two of purchase. This yields the best germination rates possible and also gives you more experience growing survival food now. At the end of the growing season, follow the instructions on the back of each packet for saving seeds for future gardens. These new seeds for survival will be more adapted to thrive in the growing conditions where you are.
