Snowball Cauliflower is a long-established favourite with tight heads that truly are snow white in colour. It is versatile and can be used for spring, summer, autumn and winter production. A dwarf compact plant that can be set closer than other cauliflowers. The compact plants produce a good crop of 13 – 15 cm pure white cauliflower heads that are tightly packed to the point of being solid and of superb quality.

Special varietal requirements:  

Bend leaves over the developing head to protect from the sun during the summer and frost in the winter. Do not overfeed winter crops as this makes them more susceptible to frost damage. Keep well-watered as shortage can lead to cauliflowers bolting. Keep an eye out for pest such as slugs/snails, pigeons or carrot root fly etc and diseases like club root, downy mildew and mosaic virus.
