  • Globe Artichoke – Green Globe

    Majestic perennials for your kitchen garden
    Producing a tight globe-shaped green and purple head, these plants look fantastic in any garden. Artichokes are reliable croppers and perennials so you will be able to harvest from these plants for about 4-5 years. Leave some space for them to grow as they can get quite large. They are lovely at the back of a border. The plug plants will come with a complete growing guide.

    Number of plants: 5 plug plants

    Variety: Green Globe (organic*)

    In the kitchen: Steamed, grilled, roasted, or sautéed, globe artichokes are one of spring’s most delectable treats.

  • Cardoon Leaves

    Cardoon – Bianco Avorio

    £5.99
    (5 Plug Plants)

    Cardoon variation of Artichoke
    If you love Globe Artichokes you’ll love these Cardoons. The plants are very similar with large incised leaves that look just like artichoke leaves, the big difference is that you eat the stems not the fruit. Harvest these plants from October – December and blanch 2 weeks before harvest by wrapping stems in cardboard. The Cardoon plants can grow to 5-6ft tall. Make sure you plant in a permanent position at the back of a large border, they will need space and will return year after year.

    Number of plants: 5 plug plants

    Variety: Bianco Avorio (organic*)

    In the kitchen: Cook stems for eating (as opposed to the fruits as you would with Globe Artichokes). Drop Cardoon stalks in boiling water for 7-8 minutes.
