The Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus), also called the sunroot or sunchoke or topinambur, is a species of sunflower native to eastern North America, from Maine west to North Dakota, and south to northern Florida and Texas.[1] It is also cultivated widely across the temperate world for its tuber, which is used as a root vegetable.[2]
It is a herbaceous perennial plant growing to 1.5--3 m tall. the leaves are opposite on the lower part of the stem, alternate higher up; the larger leaves on the lower stem are broad ovoid-acute and can be up to 30 cm long, the higher leaves smaller and narrower; they have a rough, hairy texture. The flowers are yellow, produced in flowerheads 5--10 cm diameter, with 10--20 ray florets, and are thought to smell like milk chocolate. The tubers are gnarly and uneven, typically 7.5--10 cm long and 3--5 cm thick, and vaguely resembling ginger root, with a crisp texture when raw; they vary in color from pale brown to white, red or purple.[2][3]

i new to the world of artichokes, but some people are telling me some grow flowers the you harvest early (globe i think) and some are grown underground. like these maybe? what is the deal? is one misnamed as an artichoke or what ? i tried to grow the globe type but they have yet to do much more than make 2 or 3 leaves so far.
