This artichoke came through an Amish friend seed saver a few years ago . It is similar to other artichokes but is easier to clean as it is not knobby .
It has a crisp taste like water chestnuts and is good raw or roasted. Easy to grow .
We ship artichokes unwashed as they store better . Either use , plant or store by adding some peat moss or dry soil to the bag and store in the refrigerator .

All of our seed offerings were grown here. We have been seed savers for 20 years. Our seeds are packaged in original art packets, hand folded with 100% recycled paper. Instructions for growing are not on the packs but are on the listing under seed template. Books on gardening as well as many catalogs carry general information on growing seeds. I am available by e-mail or phone to answer any growing questions as well. You won't find that service from many sources of seeds . The shipping on our orders also includes the processing and handling charges which is also less or equal to most seed companies. Remember we hand pack each order and drive from the farm to the post office to ship your order. I are not a big seed company, in fact not a company at all. I am homestead gardener.
