Kings Seeds - Cauliflower Romanesco
This stunning looking, highly attractive head of lime green is made up of a mass of small conical shaped florets forming a pointed curd not unlike a green cauliflower. It is packed full of superb flavour and more tender texture than cauliflower. Matures September to October.
Cauliflower, not being one of the easiest of vegetables to grow is certainly regarded by many old hands as the test of a real gardener. But with good planning, regular care and a small dose of common sense, you can pretty much have cauliflower on the table all year round.

Sowings can be made in trays or modules under glass at 13°C. Later sowings can be made into a seed bed in shallow drills 2cm (3/4") deep in short rows.
