Artichokes
I have grown plants for several years in Cheshire and now in Devon. I used
to cover with straw in winter otherwise treat them as hardy perennials. You can propagate by splitting as iwth other herbaceous perennials-that's how I first got my Cheshire plants from a friend. In Devon -I have had to grow them in a shaded area in a milder, damper climate and they seem vulnerable to rotting over the winter. They are thistles and I guess their glaucous foliage points to a plant that likes bright airy conditions. Regards David T "Dr Wu" wrote in message ... "Dr Wu" wrote in message news:...
