Imperial Star
Artichoke Seeds
a.k.a. Globe Artichoke
Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus
(OP) 90 days
Imperial Star artichokes grow up to four ft. tall and produce sweet and mild, 3-4.5 in. thornless flower buds the first year with yields up to 3 times higher than older varieties. Winter hardy to zone 7, Imperial Star artichokes were developed to promote heavy, annual production even in colder zones.
Growing Imperial Star Artichoke Seeds
For really big, heavy-flowering plants, start seed indoors in 4 in. containers, 5-6 weeks before the last spring frost. Plant only your best seedlings into the garden 3 ft. apart. Kept at 70-80°F., germination is in 8-12 days. About 20% of the seedlings will be of low vigor and should be discarded. In zones 7 and above, artichoke plants may be started from late spring through late summer, for large, productive plants the following season.
