ARTICHOKE GROS VERT DE LAON
£1.39 – £11.99
A traditional Heirloom French globe artichoke producing the largest hearts of any artichoke. A perennial vegetable producing large flower heads which are deep green faintly tinged with purple with solid hearts. The plants are easy to grow and last many years. Its Silver-green foliage and large flower heads make this an interesting plant when grown in the ornamental garden. The fleshy base of the petals and the meaty heart are the most edible parts. Buds are usually cut when 6-10cm in diameter.  Vigorous and prolific plants grow up to a height of 1.8m and will produce the first year from seed but are usually better when cut back and carried over to the second year.
