Snow Crown Cauliflower Seeds

Snow Crown Cauliflower Seeds, Brassica oleracea var. botrytis, produce one of the most reliable and easy-to-grow early hybrid cauliflowers, celebrated for sweet, mild flavor and robust performance in a wide range of climates. Snow Crown consistently forms fully domed, snow-white heads measuring 7–8 inches across and weighing 1–2 pounds. Heads grow rapidly and hold well in the garden, staying edible for up to 10 days after maturity. This All-America Selections winner is suitable for spring and fall growing seasons, tolerating cool weather, light frost, and brief heat spells without sacrificing quality or taste.

Growing Information

Days to Maturity: About 53–55 days from transplant.

Planting: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost or direct seed in garden; sow 1/4 inch deep and space plants 18–24 inches apart in rows 2–3 feet apart.

Care: Provide consistent moisture and mulch to retain soil moisture and deter weeds; heads reach optimal size and flavor when grown in fertile, well-drained soil. Blanching by tying outer leaves above developing heads keeps curds white and tender.

Climate Adaptation: Tolerates temperatures down to 25–32°F and resists early bolting in warm weather.

Harvest: When heads reach 7–8 inches across and feel firm; cut 2 inches above the soil for optimal storage and eating quality.

Shipping Info

Snow Crown Cauliflower seeds ship in high-quality, moisture-resistant packets for freshness and viability. Packaging is designed to protect seeds from crushing or exposure during transit, supporting rapid germination and vigorous growth. Delivery is prompt and secure, allowing timely planting for optimal harvest.
