Description
Cynara cardunculus
This unusual vegetable is a Mediterranean delicacy! It’s closely related to the artichoke, but is grown for its thick, edible leaf stalks, which have a distinctive flavor and can be eaten in soups or sauted. It is perennial in zones 7-10, though it does best in areas with long, mild summers, as high heat will cause it to develop bitter flavors. Stalks will require blanching (wrapping in fabric or paper to keep light off of them) for the last four weeks before harvest, to develop the creamy color and delicate texture this vegetable is known for.
1 gram packet contains a minimum of 17 seeds.

The seeds have worked great for my hydroponic garden. A few never sprouted but I feel sure that was user error.

I absolutely LOVE the amount AND variety in this bag. I even had seeds to share with others.?
Michael Williams –
I like the wide variety of seed packets. They’re all clearly labeled and have a nice amount of seeds in each pack. Full disclosure… I haven’t planted any yet so I’m not sure how well they grow.

I tried to grow them per instructions however most did not grow. I tried 10 out of the total 30. Come April I will try them again but I will watch some videos first ti make sure they grow
