What zone and hemisphere are you in? I’m guessing Northern and somewhere it gets cold(er)? We’re zone 6a and I left our first year globe artichokes in the ground more or less as is. They’re not brown, but they don’t look that happy after a few hard frosts. I’m surprised to see what looks like new growth on yours combined with the brown.
Ah, that makes sense. I live in 6a/nothern hemisphere and mine are still green. Mine are in the ground and we get a decent amount of rainfall. So far they’re loving life.
Yup, if they make it through the winter then they will happily come back up year after year. I wish I had done more (read any) teaserch before putting two in the ground here. I’m going to be pushing their hardiness this winter and the plants are a bit bigger than I expected. If they do survive the winter I am considering planting a few more in a different location.

In northern hemisphere on the west coast. It doesn’t get too cold here.
I bet the browning of the leaves is just underwatering. I got lazy with watering and travel.
Either way I am hoping for Artichoke seeds for next year. They are actually quite a nice privacy plant, and apparently they are annuals.
