Description: This line of Purple de Jesi has been selected at Kōanga to have purple heads and for strong plants. Purple globe artichokes have a sweet exquisite flavour and are one of the most nutritious vegetables we can eat. If picked regularly and not left to go to seed they will crop over a very long period from early Spring to early winter. Cut flower stalks back after harvesting the globes and new shoots will come up from the bottom.
