I just saw your note. If you like the artichoke as an ornamental plant, you
will also like the cardoon. This is a plant for the back of the border. In
case you have not come across it, it flowers similarly to artichoke, but
with many more flower heads, growing to 15 ft. or more with numerous
branching stems. Large, fleshy leaves. Requires no attention. Dies down over
winter and seems to tolerate a wide climatic variation
