Cynara syriaca
The Syrian Wild Artichoke makes a large, very striking perennial with spectacular dissected silvery foliage, similar in many ways to the Cardoon, C. cardunculus. Very tall branched heads of up to eight super-sized blue to purple thistle-flowers, with very prominent pointed scales washed with purple, are seen in summer. At least 2m tall with me in the Cotswolds, this is suited to a reasonably well drained sunny position. Hardy. Very rarely seen in the UK.
Pot size: 2L
