About This

• An organic globe artichoke, 'Purple Tavor' is a fruit vegetable. An improved Imperial Star-type, the plant sets large, uniform, globe-shaped flower buds with enhanced purple color on the tips. The edible heart is sweet and tender.
• Artichoke is considered a superfood for its nutrient rich content, having a high (top 25) Aggregate Nutrient Density Index score (ANDI), or micronutrient-per-calorie density. Globe artichokes are a good source of folate and fiber. The also contain biotin, niacin, vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, and phytonutrients, mainly the carotenoids lutein and zeaxnthin.
• Typically grown as an annual (Zones 7-9), 'Purple Tavor', an herbaceous perennial, is a member of the aster family (Asteraceae). The hardy, medium-size plant has an upright habit of deeply serrate, nearly spineless leaves and a vigorous growth rate.
• If plants are not harvested, the artichoke buds open into large, thistlelike, violet blue flowers. Equally ornamental, 'Purple Tavor' fits perfectly into an edible landscape or mixed border.
• Purple Tavor' varieties were bred for fast bud development and a short vernalization period, so they grow easily from seed in one season, growing best in temperate climates with cool summers and mild winters.
