Worked out from 30 years of climate records for Tabulam. Microclimates vary: frost hollows and hills run later.
A big, silver-leaved perennial that crops for about four years and suits Adelaide's Mediterranean climate well. Plant suckers or named plants in late autumn to winter, and pick the buds in spring. Its spiny wild relative is a declared weed in SA, so cut buds before they flower and go to seed.
