| | botanical.com - A Modern Herbal | Artichoke, Jerusalem - Herb Profile and Information |
 | | ---Habitat---The Jerusalem Artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus, Linn.), now commonly cultivated in England for its edible tubers, another of the numerous Sunflowers, is a native of the North American plains, being indigenous in the lake regions of Canada, as far west as Saskatchewan, and from thence southward to Arkansas and the middle parts of Georgia. |
 | | Though it rarely blossoms in England, it flowers profusely in its native country (blooming also freely in South Africa), the flowers, however, being small and inconspicuous, produced just above the last leaves. |
 | | This should be taken into account as some of the information may now be considered inaccurate, or not in accordance with modern medicine. |
