Green Globe Artichokes are a frost tolerant annual or perennial that can grow up to 180cm tall under ideal conditions. Green Globe Artichokes produce an edible bud (otherwise known as a 'choke'), usually medium green in colour with a purple tinge at the base of the bud. The chokes of this species can reach up to 7cm to 10cm in diameter. This artichoke variety has reduced thorns on the stems of the plant. Remember it is perfectly normal to see some variability in the appearance of the choke and the length of time it takes to reach maturity.
