Unwins Artichoke Violetta di Romagna Seeds
The Artichoke Violetta di Romagna Seeds from Unwins are a great seed to plant in a herbaceous border due to their sturdy architecture that most plants do not possess! These silver grey artichokes have the most delicious flavour when boiled and the yummy flesh is sucked from each scale - dip in melted butter for a gorgeous flavour sensation too!
