GREEN GLOBE ARTICHOKE 2gal

You might think artichokes are a bit exotic for an Arizona garden, but they are surprisingly simple to grow and offer a stunning, sculptural element to any landscape. The 'Green Globe' artichoke variety grows as a large, mounding plant, reaching a mature size of 3 to 4 feet tall and wide. They absolutely thrive in our full Arizona sun, and their bold, silvery-green foliage provides a fantastic contrast to other desert-adapted plants. Here's a little secret—if you let the flower buds mature, they burst open into a spectacular purple thistle-like bloom that bees adore. Best of all, once established, artichokes are very deer and rabbit-resistant, making them a worry-free addition to your edible or ornamental garden. The taste of a homegrown artichoke heart is unforgettable, and the satisfaction of harvesting your own food right from the backyard is a feeling you can't beat.
