Snowball Cauliflower

Cauliflower Snowball is a superb heritage variety, first bred in America in the 1890’s there probably still isn’t a better cauliflower to grow in the garden. The pure white, snowball-sized heads can be harvested when small, 5cm (2in) or left to mature to 15cm (6in), they can also be forced.
This easy maintenance variety is very suitable for the home gardener, the dwarf and compact plants can be set closer than others. Vigorous, early and reliable, the plants mature uniformly and have good leaf coverage. Though strictly speaking described as an early cauliflower, Snowball is in fact far more versatile than that, similar to ‘All Year Round’, it can be used for successional production all year. 65 to 70 days to harvest.
With a mild flavour, Snowball is an excellent keeper and suitable for eating either fresh in salads and snacks, or for use cooked: soups, steaming or stir-frying. It is also good for canning and freezing.
