An ornamental edible with great appeal.
Once cultivated to be enjoyed at Victorian dinners and society soirées, the Globe Artichoke is now prized for its wonderful thistlelike blooms and silvery foliage. Plus, it grows to a stately 2.5 m tall, making it a fantastic anchor plant for mixed beds, cutting gardens or back borders. Butterflies and bees cannot resist the glorious crowns of purple that top each strong stem. Globe Artichokes are very easy to grow and require no special care.Cynara cardunculus
