Crosne, Chinese artichoke
Stachys affinis
Unusual perennial edible from the mint family. Plants grow from runners, much like mint and are equally invasive so plant with care. In winter the tops die back and white, knobbly rhizomes swell. These are crunchy, mild and lovely to eat and can be braised in butter, pickled or eaten raw.
1 per customer please.
Supplied as 20g of runners and rhizomes - please pot up into free-draining, quality potting soil, and water in on receipt.
