Beaver Valley Sunchoke

Imagine a crop that works as hard as you do, returning to your garden with vigorous reliability every single spring. Beaver Valley Purple is a standout heirloom variety that balances ornamental beauty with a generous harvest. Standing at a manageable yet impressive seven to ten feet, these stalks spend their summer acting as a living privacy screen before erupting into a cheerful display of miniature golden sunflowers. As the season cools in October, the real treasure is revealed underground: smooth, purple-skinned tubers that lack the frustrating knobs of other varieties. Their football-like shape makes them a breeze to scrub clean in the kitchen, where you'll enjoy a crisp, white interior and a distinctively nutty sweetness. This variety has earned its place in the permanent garden for its sheer resilience and high productivity. Whether you are looking to support local pollinators with late-season blooms or seeking a dependable, low-maintenance root crop that thrives year after year, these sunchokes are a steadfast choice. Plant them once, and look forward to a lifetime of autumn harvests and towering summer greenery. Sunchoke tuber size can be very variable, but on average 1/2 pound will contain approximately 4 tubers. Spring Tuber Planting Guide DOES NOT SHIP TO Alaska, Hawaii, or Canada
