FAQs
Is the Green Globe Artichoke a perennial?
Yes, it is a perennial plant that returns year after year once it is fully established.
How much space does one plant need?
You should allow for a spread of 3 to 4 feet to ensure the plant has enough room to reach its full size.
What kind of soil is best for artichokes?

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Artichoke plant establishes well, start by preparing the soil with organic matter to improve fertility and drainage. Dig a hole slightly larger than the 9cm nursery pot, place the root ball inside, and backfill with soil, firming it down gently. Ensure the plant is spaced at least 3 to 4 feet apart from other crops to allow for sufficient spread. Water immediately after planting and maintain consistent moisture thereafter. In colder regions, you may need to apply a thick layer of mulch around the base during winter to protect the crown from frost. Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the active growing season to encourage strong growth.
