White Cauliflower Seeds - Brassica Oleracea, 20 seeds

Quantity: 20 Seeds / pack

White cauliflower (Brassica oleracea) is a cool-season vegetable grown for its dense, creamy-white curds. It needs steady, rapid growth to form tight heads, and rewards care with sweet, tender curds for roasting, steaming, and freezing. This packet contains 20 seeds.

Growing Instructions

• When to Plant: Start indoors 8-12 weeks before the last frost for a spring crop, or direct sow in midsummer for a fall crop; cauliflower grows best at 57-68°F (14-20°C).
• Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil rich in compost; feed again a few weeks after planting.
• Sunlight: Full sun.
• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist throughout the season; drought stalls head formation.
• Spacing: Sow 1/4-1/2 inch deep; space plants 15-18 inches apart.
• Germination: 7-10 days at soil temperatures of 45-85°F (7-29°C).
• Harvest: About 55-90 days from transplanting; cut heads when firm and tight, before the curds begin to separate.
• Tips: When the curd reaches about 3 inches across, tie the outer leaves loosely over it (blanching) to keep it white; protect young plants with row cover against cabbage moths.
