What it is
A Mediterranean perennial with prickly gray-green leaves, grown for its flower buds.
NC State Extension · PFAFWhy grow/eat it
The buds are a gourmet food. Plants give about 5–6 main heads a year from their second year.
PFAFHow to use it
Pick buds before the flowers open and usually boil them. Eat the base of each bract and the heart. Baby buds can be pickled or used in stews.
PFAFContainer tips
Full sun, rich soil and plenty of moisture in the growing season. Wet winters cause more problems than cold ones.
