‘Imperial Star’ is a perennial globe artichoke which produces abundantly from it’s first season. The sweeter than average flower buds can be harvested from July. Very easy to grow in beds or containers, with beautiful bright purple flowers in autumn!
Please note herbaceous plants naturally die-back during the colder months. We always ensure plants have at least some growth during this time, however when buying during October through to March, the growth may be minimal and there may be blemishes from winter cold.
