Cauliflower Di Sicilia Violetto Seeds

Cauliflower Di Sicilia Violetto is an heirloom Italian variety renowned for its striking purple heads and exceptional flavour.

 

This vibrant cauliflower develops medium to large, tightly packed curds with a mild, nutty taste that intensifies when roasted or steamed. The beautiful violet hue fades to green when cooked, adding a unique touch to dishes.

Sowing Instructions

 

Sow seeds indoors from March to May in seed trays or modules, or directly outdoors from April to June. For indoor sowing, transplant seedlings when they have at least two true leaves, spacing them 50 cm apart in rows 60 cm apart.

 

Keep the soil consistently moist and mulch around plants to retain moisture. Protect from cabbage pests using fine mesh or fleece. Harvest heads when firm and fully developed, cutting at the base to encourage additional side growth.

 

Cauliflower Di Sicilia Violetto is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a visually striking, flavourful, and easy to grow variety.
