It grows to 6 feet tall and forms spectacular lilac-blue flowers which can be eaten in the same way as globe artichokes. It is also grown for its stems and leaf-ribs which can be harvested and blanched in the autumn .Propagation is by seeds, suckers, or root division. In addition to a proper climate, cardoon requires a rich soil or abundant fertilizer and plenty of water and sun . CLIMATIC REQUIREMENTS - Cardoon does best in a frost-free coastal area with cool foggy summers. It is closely related to the globe artichoke but is more vigorous and tolerant of climatic variations. Leaves can reach 3-5 feet in length with crowns 4-6 inches in diameter under ideal conditions. Cardoon will be inedible when grown under hot conditions due to the strong bitter compounds that form. SOIL - Cardoon is a perennial plant that will grow on a wide range of soils, but it produces best on a deep, fertile, well-drained soil. The plant is deep rooted and should be planted on soils that afford adequate area for root development. Steady, uniform growth throughout its entire growth period is important for good quality product.Space plants 18-24 inches apart in rows 36-48 inches apart. Medicinal use of Cardoon: The cardoon 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.Edible parts Flower buds - raw or cooked. A globe artichoke substitute.
