Our Feedback
I have just tried growing your Victorian colossal pea, with fantastic results.
We have a small garden and my wife found these thinking we would get more for the same space as the 'normal' peas. Problem is they are so heavily laden with pods they are tearing from the support frame and I have had to tie them up with soft string. A problem that is very welcome. I have just sown more in the greenhouse to plant out for a later crop. I have also tried your coloured carrots but too soon to try, but I will be ordering more seeds and greater variety in the future.
Best wishes

Artichoke Plant 'Green Globe'
Cynara cardunculus (Scolymus Group) 'Vert Globe'
- A reliable heritage variety of Globe Artichoke.
- Produces fine quality globes that can be harvested small or large.
- Perennial in habit.
Supplied as compost block grown plants.
Available from approximately April 20191 or more £2.25GBPGBP each. Group & quantity discounts
This reliable old heritage variety produces fine quality globes that can be harvested as baby artichokes or left to mature to full size.
The globes are of good size and are fairly firm.
Perennial in habit, these are a stunning architectural plant making them ideal for planting in the herbaceous border, and if you allow one or two globes to flower you will be in for a stunning show that the bees will love!
Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects if allowed to 'go over' and flower (so if you have room leave any plants in that have gone too far rather than pulling them out straight away).
- Prefer a well drained but moisture retentive soil and a full sun position.
- Plant out late April onwards.
- Set plants 3 feet x 3 feet apart (90 cm x 90 cm).
- Keep weed free.
- Water well in dry spells.
- Remove Autumn die back and protect the crowns from frost with straw or similar.
- Plants are best replaced every 3 - 5 years; to produce young plants from your old simply remove offsets (side shoots) in the Spring.
