Earth Apple Seeds - Vegetable Plant

Earth Apple seeds produce a tall perennial plant commonly known as Jerusalem Artichoke or Sunchoke, valued for its edible underground tubers and bright sunflower-like blooms. The plant develops sturdy upright stems with rough green foliage and produces yellow flowers during the growing season. It is widely grown in edible gardens, permaculture systems, and ornamental landscapes where both decorative flowering and tuber harvest are desired. This hardy species adapts well to a variety of soil conditions and performs best in full sun with moderate moisture.
