Globe artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) is a Mediterranean perennial plant, which comes from Asteraceae family. Studies concerned adaptation of globe artichoke genotypes for the culture under various climate conditions resulted in considerable expansion of its cultivation range. Cynara scolymus L. hybrid cultivars bred in the last 30 years allow to reach high and homogenous yield. In presented research the usefulness of some Spanish and Dutch globe artichoke hybrid cultivars (A-106 F₁, A-109 F₁, Concerto F₁, Madrigal F₁ was analysed. All the tested cultivars were highly homogenous in respect of flower bud shape and colour as well as the harvesting time. A-109 F₁ plants reached generative stage the earliest (the first harvest after 70 days since planting), while Concerto F₁ yielded as the latest (the first harvest after 90 days since planting). The average number of capitulum per plant was 6.25. Concerto F₁ plants had the highest weight of main bud - 458 g. The biggest diameter of leaf rosette was noted for Madrigal F₁ plants (167 cm) and the highest flowering stems were observed for A-109 F₁ cultivar (87 cm). The results of the research carried out in 2005 proved that all the tested Cynara scolymus L. hybrid forms are very useful for cultivation in Poland due to acceptable yield structure and wide colour range of flower buds.
