Description
Cauliflower Snowball is a superb heritage variety from the 1890’s and there probably isn’t a better cauliflower to grow in the garden. The pure white, snowball-sized heads can be harvested when small, 5cm or left to mature to 15cm.
This easy maintenance variety is very suitable for the home gardener, the dwarf and compact plants can be set closer than others. Vigorous, early and reliable, the plants mature uniformly and have good leaf coverage. Though strictly speaking described as an early cauliflower, Snowball is in fact far more versatile than that, similar to ‘All Year Round’, it can be used for successional production. 65 to 70 days to harvest.
With a mild flavour, Snowball is an excellent keeper and suitable for eating either fresh in salads and snacks, or for use cooked: soups, steaming or stir-frying. It grows well in warmer climates compared to other varieties.  Bending the leaves across the developing cauliflower heads will prevent sun scoring.
