Description

Snowball’ is an early-maturing cauliflower. Small, tender heads to 15cm. Great flavour. Good variety in warm climates.All cauliflowers are gross feeders so they need a rich, well-drained soil. Feed every two weeks with liquid organic fertiliser. Protect from slugs, snails, cabbage moth and white cabbage butterfly.Cauliflowers are the same species as broccoli, broccolini, cabbages, other cauliflowers, collards, kale, and kohlrabi so they may cross-pollinate.Seeds are collected from the small pods that develop after the plant has gone to flower, usually in the second year. Allow the pods to turn brown and dry on the plant. Cover with an organza or paper bag to stop seeds spreading throughout the garden.
