Cynara scolymus - Globe Artichoke 'Romanesco'

Cynara scolymus is a PERENNIAL growing to 1.5 m (5ft) by 1 m (3ft 3in) at a medium rate.

It is hardy to UK zone 6 and is not frost tender.

It is in flower from August to September, and the seeds ripen from September to October. The species is hermaphrodite (has both male and female organs) and is pollinated by Bees, Lepidoptera (Moths & Butterflies). The plant is self-fertile.

It is noted for attracting wildlife.

Suitable for: light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils and prefers well-drained soil. Suitable pH: mildly acid, neutral and basic (mildly alkaline) soils and can grow in saline soils. It cannot grow in the shade and it prefers moist soil. The plant can tolerates strong winds but not maritime exposure.

Edible Uses

The flower buds can be eaten raw or cooked and are used before the flowers open. The flavour is mild and pleasant. Gobe artichokes are considered to be a gourmet food but they are very fiddly to eat. The buds are harvested just before the flowers open, they are then usually boiled before being eaten. Only the base of each bract is eaten, plus the 'heart' or base that the petals grow from.

Small, or baby artichokes, that are produced on lateral stems can be pickled or used in soups and stews. Plants yield about 5 to 6 main heads per year from their second year onwards.

Flowering stems can also be peeled and eaten raw or cooked and have a sweet nutty flavour. Young leaf stems make a good celery substitute. They are normally blanched to remove the bitterness and then boiled or eaten raw. The leaves can also be cooked but also have a bitter flavour.

Medicinal Uses

The globe artichoke has become important as a medicinal herb in recent years following the discovery of cynarin. This bitter-tasting compound, which is found in the leaves, improves liver and gall bladder function, stimulates the secretion of digestive juices, especially bile, and lowers blood cholesterol levels.

The leaves are anticholesterolemic, antirheumatic, cholagogue, digestive, diuretic, hypoglycaemic and lithontripic. They are used internally in the treatment of chronic liver and gall bladder diseases, jaundice, hepatitis, arteriosclerosis and the early stages of late-onset diabetes.

The leaves are best harvested just before the plant flowers, and can be used fresh or dried.

Boyfriend loved it!
Size: One Size, Color: Brown
Opened it up and was very happy. The wallet is thick and sturdy but not stiff. It’s pretty soft to the touch, feels nice in your hands. It has a nice design, fits plenty of cards, cash, and whatever else you need to fit in a wallet honestly. My boyfriend immediately let me know he would be transferring his things to make it his main wallet.

Very well built, will last you a very long time
Style: Trifold, Style: Trifold
This wallet is very sturdy, and barely has any wear on it after I've purchased it over a year ago. Most wallets will start to greatly scuff, wear, or degrade/break down just from being taken in and out of your pocket but this wallet has held up particularly wear with VERY MINIMAL light scuffing. Quality leather so I know I will have this wallet for a very long time! It has great card holding capacity as i currently have about 10 cards in it and it still has a pretty slim profile. The wallet itself is a very nice, natural looking wallet. The ease of pulling cards in and out definitely has made me a fan.

Rugged, Stylish, and Built to Last
Style: Bi-fold
I bought this Carhartt oil-tan leather wallet for my husband, and it’s exactly what I hoped for. The leather feels thick and high quality, with that classic rugged Carhartt look. The stitching is solid, and it’s clear this wallet will hold up for years of daily use. It has plenty of card slots and an ID window, but still stays slim enough to fit comfortably in a back pocket. The canvas lining is a nice touch, and the embossed Carhartt logo adds just the right amount of style. It even came packaged in a collectible tin, which made it perfect for gifting. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a durable, functional, and great-looking wallet!
