Cauliflower Self-Blanching produces deep, smooth, fine-grained heads protected by large, close-jacket leaves. These outer leaves naturally fold around the developing head, helping shield it as it grows and making blanching easier for the gardener. This heirloom, non-GMO variety is a practical choice for fresh eating, freezing, pickling, and spring or fall harvests.

Germination Rate: 92%. Test Date: 11/25. WILL.

Planting Tips for Success

• Plant in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture.
• Start seeds indoors or sow outdoors according to your local planting calendar. Protect young plants from hard frost and extreme heat.
• Cover seeds lightly and keep the seedbed evenly moist until seedlings emerge.
• Thin or transplant seedlings with enough room for good air circulation and head development.
• Feed with compost or a balanced fertilizer when plants are actively growing. Avoid excess nitrogen, which can encourage leaves at the expense of head formation.
• Water consistently at the soil line, especially while heads are forming, and mulch to help maintain even soil moisture.
• Harvest heads while they are firm and before the florets loosen. Cut below the head and leave some surrounding leaves for protection during handling.
