Jerusalem Artichoke Seeds

 Jerusalem Artichoke Seeds (not tubers or plants)

The Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus), also called sunroot, sunchoke, or earth apple is a species of sunflower. It grows wild in eastern and western North America but is considered an introduced species. It is also cultivated widely across the temperate zone for its tuber, which is used as a root vegetable. Tubers can be baked like potatoes or sliced thinly and eaten fresh.  They taste like water chestnuts if eaten fresh. 

Seeds should be started 6-8 weeks before last frost and transplanted after the last frost.
