Globe artichokes are a perennial member of the daisy family. In your garden, this plant will likely grow to 3 or 4 feet tall. This vegetable is most known for its young, tender globe-shaped flower buds, which are harvested before opening. You can also blanch and eat the thistle-like leaves and stems.

Growing artichokes in cold northern climate gardens can be difficult, as they are not a very hardy plant. However, if you take measures to protect them in your garden, they can grow and winter over in many areas (including New England).
