Tavor Artichoke

An improved Imperial Star type that features minimal spines for easier harvesting. The 2–3' plants have an open habit and produce an average of 1–2 primary buds per plant, averaging about 3–4" in diameter. Secondary buds average 5–7 per plant at 1 1/2–2" in diameter. 

Colorado Star Artichoke

The Imperial Star, a variety that  develops heads early in the first year with just 10 days of cool weather was crossed with purple varieties from Peru to create the Colorado Star. The result: a 2- to 3-foot tall edible ornamental that produces stunning purple globes easily in the first season.
