Lost about half to some sort of wilt - some produce loads then died. Some we're still waiting on. We been having the same problem with zucchini, some of the peppers & tomatoes. Artichokes take up a lot of space and are too much trouble for us. We'll be buying artichoke hearts at Costco!
I bought three plants from a local nursery in Dallas, Texas, in the spring/summer of 2005. All settled in very well and performed well in a very hot, exceptionally dry summer. All three survived the dry winter and as of March 2006 are actively and vigorously growing again. One of the three plants, which is in a protected location next to a retaining wall and fence, suffered no freeze damage at all and looks magnificent at 5' in diameter and 3' high. One of the other plants produced two pups at the base, which I carefully removed and transplanted elsewhere in the garden in February 2006. So far, I am extremely pleased with this variety and look forward to the buds/blossoms.
5 vendors have this plant for sale.
