Jerusalem Artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus 'Middletown Market')

Pre-orders ship between Sept-Nov 2024, immediately after harvest, on a first-come, first served basis while supplies last.

Sunflower relative indigenous to North America that produces beautiful yellow flowers and an edible, potato-like tuber highly prized by chefs worldwide. French painter Claude Monet was captivated by the gorgeous blooms - memorializing them in a (now famous) 1880 oil painting. They are fantastic pollinator plants, blooming late in the season when other flowers have faded and other forage is hard to find.

Originally an unnamed variety from a farmers market in colonial Middletown, VA, 'Middletown Market' bears very large, beautiful, rose-and-white colored tubers. We purchased our seed tubers from the folks at Wellness Herbs Apothecary. Sweetest in Spring. USDA Hardiness Zones 3-9.
