Some things take a lot of will and persistence to bring into being.
This is one of those things.
I have tried since 2014 to get seed to take of these purple artichoke. Finally, germination failure after germination failure, I got 4 plants this Spring!
The joy!
The happiness!
Even more amazing is that they are flowering already this Summer - I imagined I'd have to wait until next Spring for that.
Only small flower heads - a little bit smaller than a tennis ball, the largest, but purple artichoke flowers they are. And, again another edible perennial for the front gardens. Happy days.
