Sowing Instructions

 

Sow seeds indoors from March to April, 1 cm deep in moist, well-drained compost. Keep in a warm, bright location until germination. Once seedlings are strong enough, transplant them outdoors after the last frost, spacing them 40 cm apart for adequate growth.

 

Alternatively, sow directly outdoors in late spring once the soil has warmed. Choose a sunny, fertile location for the best results.

 

This unique green cauliflower variety adds both colour and flavour to your garden, offering a nutritious and visually striking alternative to traditional varieties.
