Grow something a little different with our Artichoke Bare Roots, a rewarding choice for vegetable gardens, allotments and edible planting schemes. Choose Jerusalem artichoke, globe artichoke or cardoon – each variety adds its own character to the garden and the kitchen. Jerusalem Artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) produces tasty underground tubers along with tall stems and happy yellow flowers. Globe Artichoke (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus) is cultivated for its characteristic edible flower buds and Cardoon (Cynara cardunculus) is valued for its striking silvery foliage and makes a bold architectural statement in the garden.
Plant your artichoke bare roots in a sunny position with well-drained soil and give them plenty of room to establish. Once settled, these vigorous plants are straightforward to grow and can provide interest and harvests for years to come.
Ideal for adventurous gardeners and anyone looking to grow more unusual vegetables, our Artichoke Bare Roots combine homegrown produce with impressive garden interest.

Watering Water regularly while the plant is establishing, then allow the upper soil to dry slightly between waterings. Established Mediterranean herbs prefer free-draining conditions and generally need less water than leafy crops. Container-grown plants will still need checking frequently during warm, dry weather.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in sun or partial shade in multi-purpose compost, enriched with organic matter where appropriate. Choose an open position with good airflow and enough space for the crop to mature without excessive competition. Protect tender crops from late frost and cold winds, and use greenhouse or sheltered growing conditions where the variety requires extra warmth.
