Rouge d'Alger Cardoon

AR106


This exciting heirloom cardoon was developed in Algeria, hence the name. It has big, edible and ornamental stalks that are blushed in red, which is so striking against the blue-green leaves. The flowers are also beautiful and can be cooked before the buds open, like a small artichoke. One of the prettiest historic varieties you can plant.

Contains 25 heirloom seeds

An eyecatcher in the garden! Review by soupmaker

Overall Rating

 

Rouge d'Alger cardoon is a very beautiful cardoon with amazing color and form. The rouge at is mostly at the base of the stems and varies in shades from plant to plant. Grow on a few because not all will have the deeper color. A great all season accent for ornamental or edible gardens..
