Romanesco Artichoke Seeds - Vegetable Plant

Romanesco artichoke seeds produce vigorous perennial plants with a large, upright growth habit and broad, deeply lobed gray-green foliage. This traditional type is well suited to mild, temperate climates with cool winters and moderate summers. Plants develop strong stems and form rounded flower buds when given adequate space and consistent care. Romanesco artichokes grow well in garden beds and perennial vegetable plots and adapt best to fertile, well-drained soils with regular moisture.
