Bring a touch of architectural drama and gourmet flavor to your garden with the Green Globe Artichoke. This majestic heirloom vegetable is a true showstopper, forming a large, fountain-like clump of silvery-green, serrated leaves. The main event is the immature flower bud, which you can harvest and steam to enjoy the tender, flavorful artichoke heart—a true culinary delicacy. If left on the plant, the buds open into stunning, giant, purple thistle-like flowers beloved by bees.
