Cauliflower Plant 'Cut 'n' Come Again'

A perennial cauliflower which produces approximately ten or more tennis ball sized custard yellow heads per year (one customer grew 39 heads on one plant in one year - is this a record?).

Excellent flavour and easy to grow year after year! Please note that these plants do get larger than ordinary cauliflower plants, the bigger the plants get the more cauliflowers it will produce!

As this variety of vegetable is not on the EEC Approved Vegetable Seed List we are only able to supply these as plants; trade with Europe, not be governed by Europe Many excellent varieties of vegetables are banned by the EEC.

Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects if allowed to 'go over' and flower (so if you have room leave any plants in that have gone too far rather than pulling them out straight away).

• Can be planted out any time of year unless the ground is frozen.
• Frost hardy.
• Plant 3 feet (91 cm) apart.
• Prefer a rich soil.
• Produce creamy yellow cauliflowers.
• It is recommended that they are replaced after approximately five years.
• Principle-cropping season is early Spring.
• Excess cauliflowers can be frozen.
• Leave can be shredded and used in coleslaw or stir fried.
• Can take 10 months before they crop fully.
• Trim back the plant a little after cropping with shears to encourage new growth once they are getting huge! (i.e. cut off about 15" (45 cm) of foliage). 
• To suppress weed growth and to encourage good root growth mulch with good organic compost. 

• Top Tips
• Protect from Pigeons - Pigeons love Brassicas (so do Partridges).
• Do not overfeed winter crops as this makes them more susceptible to frost damage.
• Take precautions against the dreaded Cabbage White Butterfly - inspect your crop regularly, spray with our BioFriend Plant Defence regularly or use a physical barrier such as insect netting.
