Artichoke

Gourmet vegetable with nutty flavor and easy-to-peel, meaty leaves that are delicious when dipped in butter. When not harvested, flower heads turn brilliant purple and can be used in flower arrangements. Large, woolly leaves and tall stalks are a great garden background. Mulch deeply to overwinter.
