Sunchoke (helianthus tuberosus)
$12.00Price
Beautiful perennial native sunflower that towers at up to 10' tall. Tubers are delicious when roasted, similar to a potato.
They are very adaptable to many soil types.
Pollinators love the flowers, which bloom around late September in zone 5. A lovely treat to have such sunny flowers in late autumn!
Two varieties available:
- yellow-skinned - traditionally managed as a food crop
- red-skinned - naturally occurring on our stream banks on the farm! Smaller and less productive tubers, but just as beautiful
