How To Grow
Artichokes are a striking and productive perennial vegetable that can thrive in the UK, especially in milder climates. Known for their large, globe-shaped flower buds, artichokes are grown for their edible flower heads, which are tender and flavourful when harvested at the right time. Here’s how to grow artichokes in the UK, with tips on soil, planting, care, and harvesting.
In the UK, Globe Artichokes are the most common type grown for their edible flower buds. Some popular varieties include:
Artichokes are generally hardy perennials, but in colder regions of the UK, you may need to treat them as annuals or provide winter protection.
Artichokes thrive in fertile, well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Proper soil preparation is essential for healthy plants and good yields.
Artichokes are usually grown from young plants or root divisions, but can also be grown from seed in the UK. Starting from young plants or divisions is often quicker and easier, as artichokes can take a long time to mature from seed.
Artichokes need plenty of space to grow, as they can become large, bushy plants with wide, deeply lobed leaves.
Artichokes require consistent moisture, especially during the growing season, but they do not tolerate waterlogged soil.
Artichokes are heavy feeders, meaning they require plenty of nutrients to produce good yields.
Artichokes benefit from regular maintenance to encourage healthy growth and maximise yields.
Artichokes can be susceptible to a variety of pests and diseases, although they are generally quite hardy.
Artichokes are harvested for their flower buds, which are the edible part of the plant.
In the UK, artichokes are generally hardy, but in colder areas, winter protection may be necessary.
Guide To Plant Sizes
A wide range of our varieties come in this size. Grown in individual cells with a bio-degradable membrane will break down in the soil, no need to remove before planting. These are large plugs than our other sizes and can be planted straight into their final position or pot and grow on to form larger plants that can be planted later in the season. Protect from frost if necessary.
