Imperial Star -- Globe Artichoke
Unquestionably the fastest maturing Green Globe artichoke available today. Excellent uniformity, very few off types. Compact plants can be spaced 18 in. apart in rows 4-5' apart. Eating quality is excellent, tending to be noticeably sweeter and more tender than other Globe Artichokes.
Origin: U.C. Riverside

Globe Artichoke Cultural Information

Start seed indoors during February to early March. Use cell trays to sprout the seed in, transplanting to 4" pots soon after emergence. Keep the plants well fertilized and the soil moist to encourage the rapid growth that is necessary if you are to mature a crop in the north.

Harvesting Globe Artichokes

Pick artichokes while still tender. Sizes seen at the supermarkets are the biggest you should let the heads get.
