CAULIFLOWER

  • DePURPLE CAULIFLOWER – matures ~68 days from transplant, Hybrid
    Stunning lavender-pink florets atop creamy stems keep their color when cooked and impart glamour and nutty sweet flavor to a sauté, stir-fry, fritter, soup – you name it! The distinctive color comes from anthocyanins, the immune-boosting antioxidants found in red wine. Uniform 7″ domed heads on vigorous plants are wrapped tight in big leaves for good protection. Matures early – partner it with Graffiti to extend your season of purple cauliflower enjoyment.
  • EARLY SNOWBALL’ – 55 days, heirloom, OP. Heads are about 5-6” across (3-5 lb.) and quite erect; smooth tops are pure white and mature uniformly. Plants are medium sized with good foliage cover, and foliage is tasty, too.  Cauliflower is a heavy feeder, so transplant into rich, well composted soil and side dress w/ organic fertilizer when buds begin to form.
  • SONG TJS-65 CAULIFLOWER – matures ~42 days from transplant, Hybrid
    This exceptionally sweet and extra-early cauliflower is sweeter and more tender than standard, white-stemmed varieties, with longer stems that are exceptional for dipping. Kitchen prep work is quick, as a few knife strokes will cut most of the florets from the heads. Typically harvested after florets have elongated and curds have started to separate, though harvesting at the same stage as standard types is acceptable. Song TJS-65 performs better in hot weather and below-average fertility than standard types in our trials. Also known as sweet-stem or loose-curd cauliflower.
