Globe artichoke is an heirloom vegetable grown for its tender, edible flower buds. With their large, silvery-green leaves and thick stems topped with pinecone-like flower buds, artichoke plants add a strong architectural element to vegetable garden plantings. Artichoke plants thrive best where mild winters and cool, foggy summers prevail. Description from bonnieplants.com
