Artichokes are a joy to the senses in both taste and sight. Plants are exceptional growing to be 5' wide and nearly as high with fuzzy gray green foliage. They require cool summers to produce fruit. The plant is ready to harvest when still tightly closed and squeaks slightly when squeezed. Cut back plants to 1 or 2 inches when harvest is complete.
