This white cauilflower is known for its long season. If seeds are sown a few at a time, any month in spring or autumn, they can be harvested for most of the year. This is slightly smaller than some varieties, so takes up less room.

Sow seed outdoors in deep, fertile but firm, soil that isn't too acidic. If space is limited, start the seeds in modules or seedtrays and plant outside when big enough to handle easily (about 5 or 6 leaves). Watering through the summer months is very important. See cauliflower cultivation for further advice
Propagate by seed. See sowing vegetable seeds or sowing seeds indoors
No pruning required
May be susceptible to flea beetle, caterpillars, pigeons and snails, although once plants are established, this damage isn't usually severe. May also be susceptible to cabbage root fly and mealy cabbage aphid
May be susceptible to brassica downy mildew and brassica white blister. In areas where brassicas have been grown before, club root can build up in the soil
