Globe artichoke 'Concerto F1'

Concerto F1 is generally regarded as a half hardy plant, so although it can survive a small mild cold snap, it is wise to ensure that this plant is protected from frost damage. Concerto F1 needs a loamy and sandy soil with a ph of 5.6 to 6.6 (weakly acidic soil).

Try to ensure a gap of at least 1.95 feet (60.0 cm) when sowing to prevent overcrowding your seedlings. For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 18°C / 64°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Concerto F1 about 48 days before your last frost date.

Concerto F1 is half hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
