Cynara scolymus
Artichoke Tavor, scientifically known as *Cynara cardunculus*, is a variety of artichoke renowned for its large, tender, and flavorful flower buds. Native to the Mediterranean region, this cultivar is prized not only for its edible buds but also for its ornamental appeal, making it a popular choice for both culinary gardens and decorative landscaping.
This variety of artichoke grows as a perennial, reaching heights of 1.5 to 2 meters (5 to 6 feet). It features large, silvery-green leaves that are deeply lobed, forming a striking rosette at the base. The plant produces tall, thick stems topped with large, globe-shaped buds that eventually mature into stunning purple flowers if left to bloom.
The edible buds of Artichoke Tavor are harvested before the flowers fully bloom. These buds are known for their tender hearts and delicate flavor, making them a favorite in Mediterranean cuisine. They are typically used in salads, pastas, dips, or as an accompaniment to meats and cheeses. The tender hearts are prized for their sweetness and low bitterness compared to other varieties of artichoke.
Artichoke Tavor thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and requires full sun to produce the best results. It is suited to temperate and Mediterranean climates and can be grown in USDA zones 7-10. The plant is relatively low-maintenance, though it benefits from regular watering during the growing season and occasional fertilization to support healthy growth and bud development.
This artichoke variety is ideal for vegetable gardens, edible landscapes, or as a stunning ornamental plant in flower beds. With its large, impressive buds and unique foliage, Artichoke Tavor is an excellent addition to gardens seeking both beauty and practicality. The plant also attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies, adding further ecological value to your garden.

| Germination | Seed Preparation: Soak the artichoke seeds in warm water for about 24 hours before sowing. This helps soften the seed coat and encourages germination. Sowing: Plant the seeds in pots or seed trays filled with light, well-draining potting mix. Place the seeds about 1 cm deep and lightly cover with soil. Watering: Water gently to moisten the soil, but avoid making it waterlogged. Keep the soil consistently moist throughout the germination period. Heat and Light: Place the pots or trays in a warm, sunny location. The ideal temperature for artichoke seed germination is around 20-25°C (68-77°F). Germination Time: Artichoke seeds typically take 10 to 20 days to germinate. Transplanting: Once the seedlings have developed two or three true leaves, they can be transplanted into larger pots or directly into the ground if outdoor conditions are suitable (after the last frost). Maintenance: Plant the young plants in rich, well-draining soil in a sunny location. Water regularly and fertilize with a balanced fertilizer to support their growth. Following these steps will increase your chances of successful germination and growth of Artichoke Tavor. |
