Artichoke Imperial Star Vegetable Seeds

Not only an impressive cropper but also an ornamental feature, you can grow tall and upright Artichoke Imperial Star in rows on the allotments or as a dual purpose feature at the back of a sunny border. The flower buds are large and flavoursome, held above tall study stems during summer. Simply pick them when ripe and enjoy the petals steamed with a dressing or melted garlic butter – the heart of the flower head (artichoke hearts) can be pickled and preserved for later use in salads and on pizza. These reliable perennial plants will produce a good crop every summer for up to four years. Height: 1.8m (6). Spread: 75cm (30).

1 packet (12 artichoke seeds).
