Product Description

Multi-Use Plant

Cardoon is grown for its decorative, medicinal, and culinary uses.

Cardoon (Cynara Cardunculus)

Suitable for USDA zones 6 through 9, cardoon is considered to be a tender perennial. In cold climates it is often grown as an annual. It is a member of the artichoke family with thick, deeply cut, thistle-like leaves and a violet-colored thistle flower head in late summer. Commonly it is called Artichoke Thistle. The Cardoon Artichoke Thistle plant is grown both for consumption and for its importance as a medicinal herb, and it is easy to grow from seeds.

One compound found in the leaves of Artichoke Thistle is cynarin. Cynarin improves the function of both the liver and the gall bladder. It stimulates digestive juices and helps to lower cholesterol. To this end, the stems of Cardoon are blanched and used like celery, and the young, tender leaves can be eaten raw or cooked.

Edible Tender Perennial

How to Grow

Cardoon seeds are best started indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost. Sow the seeds at a depth of 1/4 - 1/2 inch in small peat post with a seed starting mix.

Once all danger of frost has passed, established seedlings can be transplanted directly outdoors into the garden or landscape. Prepare a bed in advance with aged compost.

Cardoon does not grow well in containers. Make sure to grow in an area of full sun in soil that is rich in organic matter.
