Globe artichokes are a great perennial vegetable plant addition if you have the space to grow them. Each plant will yield 10-12 flower buds when fully grown and continue to produce for 5 or more years.
In this video, we plant Green Globe, one of the best hardy reliable varieties for our UK climate. I had to plant these a little closer than the recommended 3-foot spacing. The plants will reach 1.5 meters at the top of the flower stalks, so they need well-drained fertile soil and plenty of water in the first year. I paid £2.99 for each of these well-grown plants which seems an absolute bargain. watch this video to see how to grow globe artichokes.
