This unique variety brings a touch of vibrancy to your garden and table, providing a visual feast along with its delightful taste.
Size: Mature plants reach about 18 to 24 in. tall, producing heads that are medium-sized and approximately 5 to 8 in. in diameter.
Yield: Each plant typically yields one large head of cauliflower, ensuring a bountiful harvest over the season.
Taste: Mild and slightly nutty flavour, complemented by a firm texture that holds up beautifully in various dishes.
How to use: Ideal for fresh salads, roasted dishes, or as a vibrant addition to vegetable platters. Maintains its colour and taste when cooked.
Planting tips: Sow seeds outdoors as soon as weather and soil conditions permit. Space seeds about 6 to 7 per ft. of row and thin to 1 ft. apart when seedlings are about 3 in. tall. Prefers average garden soil in a sunny location. For an earlier harvest, start seeds indoors 2 to 3 weeks in advance of the outdoor planting.
Harvest tips: Heads are ready to harvest when they feel firm and tight; cut from the stalk when they reach the desired size.
