1/2 pound bundles of LIVE tubers

Helianthus tuberosus L.

The Jerusalem artichoke can be produced throughout the United States.  Often used for pickling purposes. Fresh tuber tastes like a water chestnut and is used in salads. Tubers can also be cooked like potatoes. The edible portion is the tuber or swollen end of an underground stem, which in some respects resembles a potato. Approximately 5-10 per lb.

  • Facts of note: Perennial, produces edible tubers which are good fresh, in salads, boiled or in soups. Plants can be used in some landscape situations making a high hedge in one growing season. Flowers resemble small sunflowers or large daisies. Ripens in late fall.
Despite the confusing name, Helianthus tuberosus has no connection to Jerusalem and isn’t related to globe artichokes. Native to North America, it’s valued for being easy to grow, cold-hardy, and remarkably productive.
Jerusalem artichokes grow tall—6 to 10 feet or more—and bloom with 2- to 4-inch sunflower-like flowers in late summer.

Generally, tubers are planted in early spring, as soon as the ground can be worked.

When planting, place tubers with the eyes facing up, 3 to 6 inches deep. Space them 12 to 18 inches apart to allow ample room for growth.
