Cardoon.

Cynara cardunculus. Perennial. Hardy to 0° F. The size and labor required to harvest the fleshy, inner leaf-stalks resign the cardoon to obscurity relative to its smaller, and better known cousin, the artichoke. Gardeners with lots of space will better appreciate the statuesque nature of the cardoon and may want to treat it as a dramatic centerpiece instead of a vegetable. The blanched inner leaf-stalks and the base of the stalk can be used in soups stews and salads. Blanching should be done on a dry day when any trapped moisture has evaporated from the center of the plant. Bundle the stems/leaf-stalks together and wrap twine around the plant from the bottom to approximately 12 inches from the top of the plant. Wrap the bundled stalks with cardboard and leave alone for about 4 weeks. Harvest by cutting the entire plant off at ground level.

Celeriac.

Apium graveolens. 100 days. Sometimes called root celery, this European specialty has a strong celery flavor in its leaves and bulbous root. Planted in the spring after temperatures have settled (10 days below 55° F will cause the plants to bolt), celeriac bulbs weighing as much as a pound will be ready for a fall harvest. Do not allow soil to dry out, keep well watered and fertilized throughout the growing season. Use in soups and stews. Leaves may be cut during the summer to flavor salads.

We are no longer growing any plants. Listings are for information only. Last seed source listed after some of the plants is the company from which I last purchased the seeds. I make no guarantee that a variety is still available from that company or that there aren't other sources. Plants with no source either were not grown from seed (most likely) or the seed is not commercially available.
