Cycle de vie
perennial
This cardoon variety, closely related to the artichoke, is vigorous and produces large leaves with broad, fleshy ribs. The plant can grow to over 1 meter and prefers humus-rich soils in sunny locations. Watering should be generous during dry periods.
Successful Sowing of Cardoon
Sow in pots in April, or directly in the ground in mid-May.
Transplant when the plants have 3-4 leaves, into deep soil rich in organic matter, 1 m in the row and 1.5 m between rows.
Cardoons, from the same family as artichokes, have an average height of 1.5-2 m.
From the end of September, raise the plant, bundle the leaves and hill them up to a depth of 30 cm. Harvest 5 to 7 months after sowing.
