How to Germinate Artichoke Green Globe

How to Germinate Artichoke Green Globe (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus)

  • Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date in your area.
  • Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix, and keep the soil consistently moist.
  • Maintain a soil temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination.
  • Provide bright light using a sunny window or grow lights to encourage strong seedling growth.
  • Germination typically takes 10-20 days under proper conditions.
  • Once seedlings have developed their second set of true leaves, transplant them to larger containers or directly into the garden.

Additional Tips

  • Artichoke Green Globe prefers full sun and well-draining, fertile soil enriched with compost.
  • Water regularly, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged, especially during the growing season.
  • Apply a balanced fertilizer every 2-3 weeks to support vigorous growth.
  • Mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Harvest artichokes when the buds are tightly closed for the best flavor and texture.
