Artichoke Plant Profile and Growing Hints

Artichokes (Globe Artichoke) have been a favourite culinary herb for many years. Artichokes do best in a well drained humus rich well composted soil. Artichokes prefer a cool moist position. Herbaceous perennials Artichokes grow to 1.5m. Pick the flower buds before they open if you wish to eat them. Add potash to the soil mulch well, keep moist and artickokes will flower well.
Artichokes also have a place in the perennial border as well as the kitchen garden with great foliage and intersting large blue thistle like flowers artichokes add interest. It is said that ladybirds love artickokes, so try them to attract these desirable bugs to the garden. Divided every 2-3 years.

Jerusalem Artichokes (Helianthus tuberosus) are a root crop and are actually related to sunflowers rather than Globe Artickokes. Plant in September for digging in May in southern Australia
