Heirloom Sunroot Seeds - Vegetable Plant

Heirloom Sunroot seeds produce tall perennial plants commonly known as Jerusalem artichokes or sunroots. These plants are cultivated for their underground tubers and bright yellow sunflower like blooms that appear during the growing season. They are adaptable to a wide range of climates and soil conditions and are commonly grown in vegetable gardens, naturalized landscapes, and perennial planting areas. The plants develop strong upright stems with broad foliage and can return seasonally in suitable environments. Sunroots grow best in full sun with well drained soil and moderate moisture levels.
