3 FOR £10
Globe artichoke 'Green Globe' is a perennial vegetable that produces large, edible flower buds. The plant has silvery-green leaves that are deeply lobed and spiky, and can reach up to 1.5 metres in height. The edible buds are globe-shaped, with thick, fleshy scales that protect the tender heart. The heart of the artichoke is the most prized part and is typically eaten after boiling or steaming.
'Green Globe' is one of the most popular and widely grown varieties of artichoke. It is a reliable producer and has a mild, nutty flavour that is highly prized by gourmets. The plant is relatively easy to grow and requires well-draining soil and full sun. In colder regions, cover plants in late autumn with a mulch of straw, compost or well-rotted manure, to protect them during cold winter weather.
In addition to its culinary uses, the artichoke is also valued for its ornamental qualities. The large, thistle-like flowers that develop on mature plants are a striking addition to any garden. Overall, Globe artichoke 'Green Globe' is a versatile and attractive plant that is sure to be a favourite of gardeners and foodies alike.
