Description
Those delicious thistle heads, whose softened bracts we love to dip in butter-sauce, need to be harvested before the flowers open. This one was missed.
The delicate purple blossom is surrounded by thick, succulent-like bracts making a lovely display. Most gardeners won’t attempt to harvest the seed from the artichokes they grow because the new generation may not be as productive as the parent. For best success, purchased seed from plants grown under controlled conditions will reap the greatest yield.
