 35x Herb Cardoon Cynara Cardunculus Seeds - Artichoke Thistle - Perennial

A beautiful perennial herb with both culinary and decorative benefits in the garden is the cardoon (Cynara cardunculus), sometimes referred to as the artichoke thistle. In addition to being a tasty and nourishing edible crop, it gives architectural appeal to any garden with its globe-shaped Violet flower heads and tall, spiky growth habit. Cardoon and artichokes are closely related and have many similar culinary applications.

Growing Instructions:

Sow the Herb Cardoon Cynara seeds from February to March. Thinly sow seeds into trays (2cm deep). Germination usually takes 10-14 days and once the seedlings have germinated and have grown 10-15cm tall, transplant the seeds or spread the plants 30-50cm apart. Water plants thoroughly after planting especially during warm summer days. Harvest from June through to August.
