Cardoon Seeds - Heirloom Cynara cardunculus, Ornamental & Edible, 25 Seeds for Gourmet Stalks & Stunning Flowers

Grow a dramatic, architectural edible with our heirloom Cardoon seeds. A close relative of the artichoke, this magnificent plant is prized for its huge, silvery-gray, serrated leaves that create a stunning focal point in the garden. While the plant is highly ornamental, the main event is the thick, fleshy leaf stalks, which, after blanching, are a gourmet delicacy with a tender, artichoke-like flavor. If left to flower, it produces spectacular, giant, purple thistle-like blooms beloved by bees.
