Cauliflower Puntoverde (78 Days)

More delicate than the standard cauliflower and cooks more quickly. Puntoverde is a vigorous dark green Romanesco hybrid. The curd is very deep with more rounded points less likely to break or bruise during harvesting. Produces very good summer crops in areas without extreme summer heat and outperforms typical Romanesco types under stressful weather conditions.

Planting Instructions:
Seed outdoors as soon as weather and soil conditions permit. Cover seed lightly with soil, 6-7 seeds per 1ft. of row. Average garden soil and a sunny location are ideal. Thin to 1ft. apart when 3 in. high. For earlier Cauliflower start indoors 2 to 3 weeks in advance of intended date for moving the plants to the garden. Germinates best at 21°C in 7-10 days. Reduce temperature after germination to 15°C and provide additional light to help prevent stretching and to tone up plants before transplanting outside. Several sowings of Cauliflower 10 days apart ensure a fresh supply into fall.
