I have had good luck with Green Globe. It\\\'s larger than Imperial Star and Violetto and produces larger, fuller buds. It performs reliably in the first year ( I buy seedlings from Natural Gardening Company). Overwinters and produces much better the second year, but even with the best protection will sometimes not survive a harsh winter. To overwinter I leave them in the garden and cut back to 18\\\" tall. I surround all the artichoke plants with bales of straw and loosely pack the interior with fallen leaves. Cover the top with an old window frame or sheet plastic. They are attractive plants and could be grown and overwintered in the border or flower garden too.

I grow this successfully as a perennial in Willamette Valley of western Oregon . Evergreen in mild winters. Comes through our winters fine, even with a hard freeze like this year's. I mulch with leaves in winter. Produces main crop in June most years. This year (2008) produced in July. Goes dormant in July-August. Regrows in September when we might get a few small chokes again.

A very good, old fashioned artichoke. Still reliable after all these years. I get mine from Roguelands Seeds.
