Artichoke Plants You Can Grow  
I only ship out plants with a thick and well established root mass.

Hot & Mild Climates:  Now is the perfect time of year to plant artichokes. Getting it in the ground or in a container now allows the plant a chance to get established, build a sturdy root mass and get ready for big healthy growth in 2012 when it warms up. 

Reserve your plants now and have them shipped this spring!

SHIPPING:  All plants are shipped bare root.  Each package weighs about 1.5 pounds.  There are a couple different shipping plans offered, but all plants are shipped by 2-3 Day Priority Mail regardless of the method chosen. So, select the most affordable shipping option and I will send out your plants within 3 business days.
