Cauliflower Seeds – Non-GMO Heirloom

The cool-season vegetable worth a spot in your garden

Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) is a cool-season brassica grown for its tight, domed head of creamy-white curds. Closely related to broccoli and cabbage, it has a mild, faintly nutty, slightly sweet flavor that turns rich and buttery when roasted. Each plant forms a single central head cradled in broad blue-green leaves, and a well-grown cauliflower is one of the most satisfying sights in the vegetable patch.

How to grow cauliflower from seed

Cauliflower rewards steady, even growing conditions. Sow cauliflower seeds about a quarter inch deep in rich, well-drained soil, starting indoors 6 to 8 weeks before your last frost or direct-sowing for a fall crop, and grow in full sun. Space transplants about 18 to 24 inches apart and expect heads in roughly 55 to 100 days depending on variety. Keep the soil consistently moist and plant for cool spring or fall weather, since heat can cause loose, ricey heads. For the full step-by-step, see our complete guide to growing cauliflower from seed.

How to use cauliflower

Cauliflower is remarkably versatile in the kitchen. Roast whole florets until golden, rice them as a grain substitute, mash them like potatoes, or fold them into curries, gratins, and soups. Raw florets are crisp and mild for crudites and slaws, and even the leaves and stalk are edible. Cut fresh from the garden and cooked promptly, homegrown cauliflower is sweeter and more tender than store-bought.

Cauliflower and its brassica cousins

If you love cauliflower, you will enjoy its fellow brassicas. Try broccoli for green heads and cut-and-come-again shoots, cabbage for crisp, storable heads, or kohlrabi for a crunchy, above-ground bulb. You can explore the full range in our vegetable seeds collection.
