Cauliflower Sicilian Violet

£3.95

The vivid purple head to this heirloom cauliflower stops you in your tracks as you walk through your veg patch or allotment. Harking from Sicily, its heads turn green on cooking and have a sweet, nutty flavour that’s hard to beat. Brilliantly it is insect resistant, easier to grow than some of the white varieties and packed with antioxidants. What’s not to love?!

How to grow this seed

Additional Information

Growing Information

Sowing info

The best time for planting cauliflower seeds indoors is four to seven weeks before the last average frost. Sow your seeds at a depth 1cm and water them thoroughly, germination takes 8 to 10 days.

Growing info

Transplant your seedlings outside two to four weeks before the last frost date. They’ll still be sensitive to cold, so make sure to harden them off carefully first. Set them outside, out of the wind, for about one hour, then bring them inside. Repeat this every day, leaving them outside an hour longer each time. If it’s unusually cold out, skip a day. Keep this up for two weeks before planting them in the ground.
