(Helianthus tuberosus) Each order contains a mix of Stampede and Ruby cultivars.
This highly productive tuber species is native to central North America and has been widely distributed by indigenous people who recognize its value as a perennial food crop. Also known as Jerusalem Artichokes, although it is not from Jerusalem and not related to the Artichoke, Sunchoke tubers are high in natural fibers and non-glycemic sugars and can be eaten raw or cooked. The plant can grow to 10 feet tall and features sunflower-esque yellow flowers. At the end of the growing season each plant will have produced a bounty of food and growing next year's crop is as simple as leaving a tuber in the ground. When you receive your tubers you can either store them to eat as you would a potato, or plant them directly into the soil to grow your own plant the following season.
Sunchokes prefer well drained soil and can tolerate periods of drought but not wet soil.
