Hi,

Does any one know how to successfully propagate Global Artichokes?

I have 5 - 6 small 6" plants that have come from the base of this years plant (now chopped down to ground level as all flower heads have been eaten) but when I went to separate them from the main stem they didn't have any roots and seemed to be taking all their nourishment from the main steam so I don't know what to do.

The one that I broke away from the main stem is now jammed in a plant pot with damp soil in the vain hope it might take......
