When to plant Imperial Star artichokes in Los Angeles?
 

My brother decided to dig up the artichokes we had and replace them
with Imperial Star artichokes. We live about 20 miles South of
downtown Los Angeles. We get essentially no frost here.

When should I plant the Imperial Star seeds? Can I plant them
outside now? Thank you in advance for all replies.

thinks that he should get canned food and be allowed to get on the
table and eat what he wants off my plate.
