Jerusalem Artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus 'Stampede')

Sunflower relative indigenous to North America that produces beautiful yellow flowers and an edible, potato-like tuber highly prized by chefs worldwide. French painter Claude Monet was captivated by the gorgeous blooms - memorializing them in a (now famous) 1880 oil painting. They are fantastic pollinator plants, blooming late in the season when other flowers have faded and other forage is hard to find.

Stampede is a productive staple crop variety that has earned an important place in many gardens nationwide.
