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.
