Imperial Star Artichoke promises to be a star in the garden. Whether grown as a perennial or an annual, you'll enjoy high yields of globe-shaped artichokes. Imperial Star produces up to three times the yields of some older varieties. The artichokes are good in dips and other dishes—and picking is easy with this thornless variety. The plants grow 3-4 ft. tall and are ornamental enough to fit into flowerbeds or the edible landscape. They also support pollinators. In many areas of the country, the seeds are started indoors and transplanted to the garden. 85 DAYS.
