How to Care for the Plant

Container
If you want to grow them in containers, make sure the pots are deep enough. Go for containers starting from 18 inches (45 cm) deep and 24 inches (60 cm) wide so that they can accommodate the plant's root system which can spread pretty wide.
Fun fact
While the Jerusalem Artichoke is not native to Jerusalem and is not an Artichoke, its name is believed to be a corruption of the Italian word "girasole," meaning Sunflower, due to its resemblance to the sunny bloom.
