Topinambur Variety Härlighed Ruud

Härlighed Ruud forms reddish, pear-shaped tubers and is very vigorous. An old Dutch variety. Jerusalem artichoke is undemanding and very frugal, but needs enough space. Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) is a plant from the aster family (Asteraceae) and belongs to the same genus as the sunflower (Helianthus annuus). It has large leaves and small, bright yellow flowers. In the English-speaking world, Jerusalem artichoke is known as sunroot.

The pot of the plant is made from natural raw materials and can be planted directly into the ground, it composts itself and provides the plant with nutrients!

Other names for Jerusalem artichoke are: German potato, earth artichoke, earth apple, earth pear, earth shock, earth sunflower, eternity potato, Indian tuber, Jerusalem artichoke, small sunflower, tuberous sunflower, sugar potato in southern Baden also known as horse earth apple, as they were often fed to horses in the past.

Appearance

The perennial herbaceous plant grows up to three meters, some varieties almost four meters high. Upright stems form from the tubers. These have stalked, oval rough leaves. These are seven to ten centimeters wide and between ten and twenty-five centimeters long.

The four to eight centimeters wide, basket-shaped flower heads bloom from August to November in a beautiful yellow. They sit in the axils of the upper leaves. The ray and disc florets are bisexual. The seeds usually do not mature in Central Europe due to the late flowering period.

The plants still propagate very well through their root tubers. In July and August, the plant forms elongated, spindle-shaped tubers on the underground runners, which serve as carbohydrate storage. New shoots sprout from them the following spring.
