Soft-necked types grow best in mild winters, although some are cold tolerant to zone 5. Most varieties do not produce scapes (curly, edible flower stalks), but soft necks are great for braiding. Subtypes include Creole, artichoke and many Asian varieties.
Hardneck types adapt to cold winter climates and all produce delicious curly landscapes in early summer. Popular subtypes include porcelain, purple-striped, and rocambole varieties.
