Product Description: Purple Sicily Cauliflower This cauliflower's color comes from the antioxidant anthocyanin, which is also present in red cabbage. The florets cook to a bright green, and the insect-resistant varieties tend to be easier to grow than many white varieties. All varieties are rich in minerals and look beautiful in any vegetable garden bed.

Sowing the Seed Cauliflower is a cool weather crop that can be started indoors or directly outdoors. If started indoors, sow in starter pots 4 to 6 weeks prior to the last frost. If started outdoors in the Spring, sow just before the last frost, or in mid-summer, for a fall harvest. Till your sowing area, removing all unwanted plant life and weeds. Sow the seeds at a depth of 1/4" under, in rows measured about 10' long.

Growing Conditions Cauliflower will grow in an area that receives full sunlight for at least 6 hours daily. The plants will bolt and go to seed if temperatures are too high. The soil should be fertile and rich in organic matter, but also well-drained. To improve drainage, we recommend adding a light compost to areas containing hard, compact soil. Water daily to ensure that the seeds receive enough moisture to germinate properly.

Germination & Growth Cauliflower seeds typically germinate within 7 to 14 days after sowing. The plants will grow to about 2 feet tall, spreading about 12 inches wide. They can be spaced 24 inches apart from one another, in rows spaced 24 inches apart. Purple of Sicily will produce 2 or 3 pound heads, in a purple coloring. The curds are loaded with minerals and have a sweet, delicious, refined flavor. Harvest in roughly 90 days.
