{"product_id":"violet-de-provence-artichoke-plant","title":"Violet de Provence Artichoke Plant","description":"\u003cp\u003eA French Heirloom Variety. Violet produces pretty chokes with delicious chunky petals. The plants are robust and extra productive, even in marginal landscaping situations. They need rich, well-drained soil, full sun, a temperate climate and plenty of room. This European heirloom is extra early. If you love artichokes, grow both purple and silver varieties for an uninterrupted supply. Baby chokes are wonderful in garlic butter, and if a few grow too big, let them bloom. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmain role=\"main\" class=\"loc main\" id=\"main\"\u003e\n\u003carticle data-tracking-container=\"true\" class=\"comp mntl-article--two-column-right-rail right-rail article--structured lifestyle-food-article mntl-article\" id=\"article--structured_1-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"loc article-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"comp article-content-container mntl-block\" id=\"article-content-container_1-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bind-scroll-on-start=\"true\" data-sc-content-positions=\"[1, 1, 1, 1250, 1, 1, 1, 1]\" data-sc-load-immediate=\"5\" data-sc-breakpoint=\"50em\" data-sc-max-track-height=\"600\" data-sc-min-track-height=\"250\" data-sc-ad-track-spacing=\"100\" data-sc-ad-label-height=\"11\" data-sc-sticky-offset=\"135\" class=\"comp structured-content text-passage mntl-sc-page mntl-block\" id=\"mntl-sc-page_1-0\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/main\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(16, 7, 1);\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eCare\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(16, 7, 1);\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en\" class=\"BxUVEf ILfuVd\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hgKElc\"\u003eViolet de Provence artichokes are hardy perennial plants in zones 2 to 10, but can be grown as annuals in colder regions that have a shorter growing season. Consistent water is essential when growing artichokes so aim to maintain a lightly moist soil, particularly during active growth in spring and summer. Drought stressed plants produce fewer and smaller buds. Mulch with straw or shredded leaves to conserve moisture and reduce the need to water. The plants set their buds in mid to late spring and they’re cut back to the ground once production has finished. Globe artichoke plants re-sprout in autumn and crop again the following spring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(16, 7, 1);\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eGrowth Habit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(16, 7, 1);\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en\" class=\"BxUVEf ILfuVd\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hgKElc\"\u003ePlants are highly ornamental, with big, jagged, silvery leaves and tall flower stems topped with large globe-shaped buds that have pointed scales (sepals). The plants are extremely ornamental with spiky, silvery foliage and flower stalks that grow 3 feet both tall and wide. Most varieties yield 6 to 8 artichokes per plant, but some can produce up to 10. If you don’t harvest all the buds on your artichoke plants they’ll open into purple, thistle-like flowers which add bold color to the garden and attract bees and other pollinators. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(16, 7, 1);\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eToxicity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eArtichokes are healthy for dogs and contain vitamin C, folic acid, potassium, niacin, and lots of antioxidants. These vitamins and minerals help prevent illness and support your dog’s immune system, muscles, metabolism, and more.
