Frequently Asked Questions

What are the ideal growing conditions for artichoke plants?

Artichoke plants thrive in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells.

Harvest artichokes when the buds are firm and closed, before the petals open. Typically, this occurs 85-100 days after planting.

How do I care for artichoke plants in winter?

In colder climates, mulch around the base to protect the roots, or cut back the plant and cover with straw for winter protection.
