About this Product
Green Globe Artichoke seeds:
Green Globe Artichoke is a popular and classic heirloom variety that has proven to be reliable year after year. Green Globe Artichoke is mainly grown for a couple of different reasons. Firstly, it is grown for their tender hearts. The leaves are delicious as well. Artichokes can be halved and grilled with seasoning, boiled, or steamed. The base of the leaves contains tender flesh that tastes delicious in lemon butter or aioli. The heart can be made into dips, pickled, or eaten as the leaves are.
The second reason to grow these perennial beauties is for the blooms. When the choke is left on the stem, it will open and produce a large bright purple fuzzy bloom. When ours grow each year, the bees go crazy for the blooms! Green Globe artichoke produces 3-5 chokes per plant. These can produce runners that can be cut and propagated to create new plants. These do best on the ground but can be grown in containers although a fairly large-sized container is required. Smaller containers will produce smaller plants with smaller artichokes.
Maturity days: 140-150

Meet the Maker
Welcome to Blue Pumpkin Seed Co.! My lifelong love of gardening, especially pumpkins, led me to create this company.
We started as a small family business on Etsy in 2020, sharing our passion for heirloom seeds. Over time, I took charge to ensure this labor of love would flourish. I'm thrilled to now offer you a carefully curated selection of seeds directly.
The wonder of watching a seed grow continues to inspire me. As a fellow gardener, I share the same excitement and joy for gardening as our customers do.
