Description
CERTIFIED ORGANIC! These tall, hardy plants produce seven to eight highly uniform, nearly spineless buds in the first growing season. The buds are sweet and tender. Imperial Star Organic Artichoke seeds are a great choice for the home gardener or for open field production. The plants grow 90-120cm (36-48″) tall. This variety is sometimes listed under the name Tavor. It’s a bit easier to get first-season harvests from Imperial Star than some of the other artichoke varieties, but it is also perennial, so it will produce for several years to come. The buds are a terrific mid-summer treat.
At Shelmerdine we offer the best selection of garden seeds and seed starting products for your garden! From growing microgreens to indoor sprouts and full scale vegetable gardening, we have everything you could possibly need to be successful! If you’re new to seeds and seed starting, visit our store! Our staff are experts at seed starting and at vegetable gardening and we love to share our passion and knowledge with you!
Growing plants from seed is a great way to start gardening earlier in the season. With the right light, soil and some simple equipment, it’s easy to grow from seed to harvest. All you need is a sunny window or some grow lights, a basic seed-starting mix, some trays or small pots, and a seedling heat mat if you want to accelerated growth.
SEED STARTING IS FUN, EASY AND IS SO REWARDING!
Starting your own seeds indoors expands the selection of crops that you can grow. This is especially relevant because we live in a cold climate with a relatively short growing season. We are located in climate zone 3, so slow maturing crops like peppers, onions, leeks, celery, and tomatoes have to be started before spring in order for them to reach maturity during the summer months.
At Shelmerdine, we’re excited to be your experts for all things seeds!
