Northern Star - Globe Artichoke Seed

Cynara scolymus

Northern Star Supporting Member Variety Globe Artichoke
The first hardy Green Globe artichoke bred to overwinter and spring harvest in more northern locations. Good uniformity, better than most other Green Globe artichoke strains, The only selection we've tested that has survived sub-zero temperatures without protection. Winter hardiness is a complex matter so we offer this for trial only - no guarantees. May-June sowings will generally produce the following spring April - June. (300 days)

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.
