Green Globe Artichoke Seeds – Non-GMO Heirloom

The packaging has an organic, earthy feel with a beautiful illustration on the front and well-written, helpful information on the back. There’s even a QR code for additional tips, which is a nice touch.Since artichokes thrive in cooler temperatures (45-50°F), I’m waiting to plant them outdoors, as the current temps in west Florida are around 90°F. I’ve had great success with this brand before, so I’m confident I’ll get good results from this 35-seed pack.What I really appreciate is that their products are non-GMO, non-hybrid, and thoroughly tested for a high germination rate. It’s clear this is a trustworthy company with a real website, and they offer only pesticide-free products sourced from reliable USA suppliers.

This comes in a pack of ~35 artichoke seeds - the packaging has instructions based on where you are located in the US for growing. It's not quite the right time for me to plant these yet, and even when it is, it's an uphill battle to get them to grow in my state. But, I want to try it anyway. I have heard that often artichoke seeds fail to germinate, so I wanted to make sure that they were going to sprout. I kept 9 seeds in a wet paper towel in a ziplock bag in my fridge for about 7 days and saw that some were cracking open. I took them out of the fridge and left the ziplock bag on my windowsill. So far 4 out of 9 have sprouted, and 2 others have cracked open. Only 4 failed. I think that's fair. Artichokes flourish in cooler temps (45-50°F), and Florida is far from that right now, especially central Florida (~90°F) so I'm not planning to plant them outside until it gets much cooler. And now I know that these seeds will sprout, so I know if they don't grow when I plant them I'll know that it's noting to do with the quality of the seed. If I can get them to grow and produce artichokes I would definitely get more of these in the future.

I have ordered seeds from this company before and they have all grown well so far. These artichokes are no exception. The instructions and information are thorough. I started these outside and I actually got a high germination rate. They are growing well and I am super happy with these seeds!

I am very excited to get these seeds for a Vine product review as it will be the first time I attempt to grow artichokes from seed.PROS* a lot of seeds* claims a high germination rate* indoor/outdoor seeds* any climate* non GMO* USA sourcedCONS* as with other seeds by this brand they are a bit over priced at $4.99 but you get so many that this price tag is not that awful.Let's see how they fare...I will revise my review but until then I RECOMMEND these if you can get on sale as they seem very good quality seeds.

The Green Globe Artichoke Seeds Pack has been a delightful addition to my gardening endeavors. With over 35 non-GMO heirloom seeds in individual packets, it's easy to plant and cultivate these delicious vegetables both indoors and outdoors. The seeds have a high germination rate, ensuring a plentiful harvest. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, these artichoke seeds are a fantastic choice for anyone looking to add variety to their home garden.

Got a couple of them to germinate...but they died soon after. Probably user error though. I don't want to fault the company cause I live in Florida. Unless it's a palm tree, normal plants can't take the heat/humidity here. Tried planting in the early spring when it was a little cooler for that reason, but very short lived.

Pretty fast shipping, good amount of seeds in the packet.... I'm going to have to wait a few months to see if they produce a good amount if veggies...

Can’t wait to see the seeds grow

Great vendor, fast shipping. Will shop again!

Came up very quick. Looking strong.

Germinates well. Can't wait to see my labor of love next year!

As far as I counted, all seeds have me tiny artichoke babies! They all thrive indoors and now too see how they do in a north idaho summer!

Quality seeds! A treat for any gardener!

I love this brand! Great germination rate!

Planted in dirt pot w shower cap- outside popped up 3-5 days- doing well!

Arrived in great condition

That’s what I ordered

Terrific Seller. Great communication. Quick delivery. Thanks so much!

I planted these in the dome and I've been waiting. So far nothing yet, we shall see in the spring.

I Look forward to seeing my crop grow with these non GMO seeds. The packet of seeds was clearly labeled and had instructions for proper using the seeds. This envelope will fit in my seed organizer sleeves. I have gotten some other seeds from amazon and they have been in non descript cellophane small packets.

Nice pack. Exelent product

The package was intact and the seeds looked good. I soaked them 24 hours as recommended. I didn’t see any sprouts but I put them in their new home. I’m in south Florida and the weather is as stated, they get lots of sun, soil is a bit sandy, sprinklers and rain are helping. I am building a cover with pvc frame and screen protection from bugs and iguanas. My other plants are doing well in the same kind of set up. I will be back later with hopefully pics of one of my favorite foods.

Good seeds.

I planted these and have some sprigs. I'll have to wait to see what further happens. Its typically a good harvest after 2 years of letting it grow. I'll have to update post much much later.

We're just getting started with these seeds, but so far so good.We're seeing a good germination rate with our indoor starts with about 12hrs a day of full spectrum LED light, and we're really looking forward to the grow out.

These are good quality seeds and you get a nice amount for the price.

These were planted according to the package recommendation. They are starting to grow. Looking forward to harvest time.

Happy to have found artichoke seeds. They seem to be a rare commodity. I didn't have any trouble with germination, and so far no issues with general growth, so I believe these seeds to be good quality.

The seeds came packaged nicely no mildew or mold or dried out seeds they are in great condition, took only 2 days to germinate now I’m going to put them in my raised garden bed ! Wish me luck

There's a lot of seeds in the packet. I didn't count, but definitely more than a 30. I set down 5 to grow and all of them have sprouted.I've grown artichokes before, but not this variety. As a word of warning, these plants are perennial in warm climates, and can get very large. Planting all the seeds at once is not advised unless you have a lot of space for them to spread out their leaves.It generally doesn't make the artichoke heads until the second year, so if your area freezes, you may need to prepare to keep these plants alive overwinter. I am unable to comment on taste or flavor because these plants will take a long while before I get any artichoke heads to eat.

It is hard to tell if a seed will germinate but if you take the time to research not only the zone and time of year to plant but also consider fortifying the soil for artichokes you will be that much closer to a successful germination rate and plentiful crops.Happy Gardening
