Cauliflower
Pot Size: Grown in a 3-cell pack, ready for transplanting into your garden or a larger container.
Appearance & Growth Habit: Cauliflower is a cool-weather crop with broad, dark green leaves that form a dense head of white florets. It grows to about 1-2 feet tall and wide, making it suitable for garden beds or large containers. The plant forms a large central head surrounded by leafy greens.
Care Requirements: Prefers full sun and well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Keep the soil consistently moist and cool, with temperatures ideally ranging between 60-70°F. Cauliflower is sensitive to heat, so be sure to provide shade during warmer months or plant in early spring or fall for the best results.
