Overview

Worth growing for both their statuesque appearance as well as their flowerheads, which if picked and cooked before the flowers emerge, are delicious when drizzled with butter. Impressive and decorative perennials, they look wonderful in the border, adding height and structure. If grown purely as a vegetable, they should be replaced (or take basal cuttings) every three years to stop them getting too woody. Garden Care: Plant the bare root offsets in a sunny, sheltered position at 90cm intervals. Keep them well watered initially and remove any flowerheads that appear in the first year. Cut back in autumn and apply a generous layer of mulch in spring. ,/ul

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Bare root plants are either wrapped in plastic bags or waxed paper where possible and then placed into a cardboard box.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
