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!
Sow Date - Feb-June
Harvest/Flowering Date - June-Aug
Row spacing - 25cm
Pack size - approx 30 seeds
Sow indoors
Sow seeds thinly over moist seed compost, and lightly cover them with a little more compost. Place in warmth 10-15C (50-60F), and keep moist.
Transplant seedlings individually to 8cm (3in) pots of potting compost when big enough to handle. Accustom them to conditions outside for 2-3 weeks before planting out to their cropping positions 90cm (36in) apart from late spring onwards.
Sow outdoors
Sow seeds thinly in a shallow, short, pre-watered row. Lightly cover them with a little soil. Keep soil moist until seedlings are established, then thin to 2cm (1in) apart.
Transplanting
Transplant when strong to their cropping positions from mid to late summer, allowing 90cm (36in) each way between plants
