Description
Have fun with our selection of four most unusual cauliflowers that can be eaten raw in salads, as baby vegetables, or allowed to mature in the normal way.
Colours include deep purple violet, vibrant sunset orange, lime green and white with unusual 'turrets' of small green curds - really most unusual
Despite the varied colours the taste is just the same as a normal cauliflower.
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).
- Sow April to May thinly in rows 6" (15 cm) apart. Sow in ½" (1 cm) deep drills.
- Thin to one seedling per 3" (7.5 cm) or transplant into suitable pots.
- Set out when large enough 18" (45 cm) apart in rows 2 feet (60 cm) apart.
- Harvest approximately September-October.
- Top Tips
- Bend leaves over the developing head to protect from sun scorch.
- Protect from pigeons - pigeons love Brassicas (so do partridges).
- 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.
