Direct sow around the final frost date. If the final frost date in your environment is later in the year, sow indoors. To do so, transplant seedlings outside after 4-6 weeks. Plants thrive in full sun when watered often. Fertilizer will also help with growth by providing nitrogen to the soil. Harvest buds in the summer by clipping them off individually when they reach their full size. For best results, harvest buds when they are 4-5” in diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSeeds Per Package:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 g - Approximately 7 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 oz - Approximately 200 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 oz - Approximately 800 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 lb - Approximately 3,200 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 lb - Approximately 16,000 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 lb - Approximately 80,000 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eImperial Star Hybrid Artichoke Garden Seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!--split--\u003e","brand":"Mountain Valley Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"100 Seeds","offer_id":35360416497826,"sku":"41191","price":11.81,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 Seeds","offer_id":35360416530594,"sku":"41238","price":42.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0444\/6706\/0898\/products\/artichoke-imperial-star-wm_700.jpg?v=1595852529","url":"https:\/\/bestchoiceproducts13-com.myshopify.com\/products\/artichoke-seeds-imperial-star","provider":"bestchoiceproducts13.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
