Snowball Self-Blanching Heirloom Cauliflower
Growing Snowball Self-Blanching Heirloom Cauliflower
‘Snowball Self-Blanching’ is a classic heirloom cauliflower known for its brilliant white heads and naturally protective foliage. As the plants mature, the leaves curl inward around the developing curds, helping shield them from direct sunlight and keeping the heads beautifully white with less effort from the gardener.
Start ‘Snowball Self-Blanching’ seeds indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep, space plants 18 to 24 inches apart, and grow in full sun. This cold-tolerant variety benefits from an early start to help ensure strong head development.
Ready to harvest in about 68 days, the heads can be picked once the curds are firm, compact, and fully developed.
Mild, tender, and versatile, ‘Snowball Self-Blanching’ is excellent for fresh eating, roasting, steaming, and everyday cooking.
