These are open pollinated seeds from Grande Beurre and Violetto that are either selfed or crossed. Artichokes are normally propagated by root cuttings because they do not come true from seed, and these seeds will show variation in vigor, flower size, and other characteristics.

Artichokes are perennials that generally do not flower in their first year, and will do best in climates without a hard freeze. But this diverse mix is worth a try if you are looking to grow this vegetable under less than ideal conditions.

Packets contain approximately 40 of seeds.

Are seeds really free?

Our mission is to make diverse seeds available to everyone. Although the seeds are free, you will need to pay for shipping. In addition, we ask you to consider making a donation to cover program costs. This allows us to make seed free for those who need it.

When will I get my seeds?

Seeds will ship within a week of ordering. This program is run by dedicated and hardworking volunteers.  Going to Seed is not a seed company. You may receive packages that have less than the stated number of seeds, germination rates may not meet the federal standards, shipping may be slower than you prefer, or there may be any other number of unanticipated glitches. Please be patient with us as we improve the standards over time.

How are seeds packaged?

Seeds are packed in moisture proof, 100% compostable materials. We recommend saving this packet to fill and send back to the program.
