Description

Cauliflower All Year Round

A popular and reliable English Heirloom variety that can be sown and harvested in all the cauliflower periods, although, best planted in summer and overwintered for harvesting the following year. Ideal for succession sowing.  The dwarf compact plants will make very large, tight heads and are one of the easiest to grow as well. Prefers a moist, rich well drained soil for optimum heads.
