The Multi-Colour Blend cauliflower seeds offers a painterly selection of surprising cauliflower colours. Orange, purple and green cauliflower heads each mature in summer to fall. Chock-full of nutrients and amusing on the plate, our blend belongs in every foodie's garden. Grow as you would regular white cauliflower, by starting indoors in trays and transplanting into rich, fertile soil using a balanced organic fertilizer at transplant time. If growth seems to slow at any point in the season, increase irrigation and top dress with more organic fertilizer. Be sure to plan a late summer garden party and serve these eccentric florets raw with a dip - the colour is less intense and fanciful when cooked.

Sow 3-4 seeds 5mm (¼”) deep in each spot you want a plant to grow. Thin to the strongest plant. Space transplants 45-60cm (18-24″) apart in rows 60-90cm (24-36″) apart. |
| Growing |
Ideal pH: 6.0-6.8. Humus-rich soil amended with composted manure is best. Mix ½ cup of complete organic fertilizer into the soil beneath each transplant. From seedling to harvest, cauliflower must grow steadily to make a large plant and curd. If growth slows, scratch additional fertilizer into the surface of the soil around each plant. Maintain even soil moisture with regular watering. Shade the developing curds from sun by tying up leaves or using newspaper. This is known as “blanching,” and will keep them white. Add 20-25 days to the maturity dates if direct sowing. |
