Snowball is a classic heirloom cauliflower known for tight, snowy-white heads wrapped by protective leaves that help keep the curds clean and bright. Selected by market growers in the late 1800s, it’s compact enough for small beds yet dependable in cool weather, producing uniform, medium heads with mild, sweet, slightly nutty flavor. Roast into caramelized florets, steam for a silky mash, or quick-pickle small pieces for crunch. Cauliflower brings vitamin C, vitamin K, fiber, and sulfur-based compounds long valued for their antioxidant benefits.

How to Grow

For spring planting, start seed indoors 5-7 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 50-85 degrees. Transplant to the garden 2 to 3 weeks before your average last frost date. For fall planting, start transplants 7-9 weeks before average first frost or direct sow in garden late summer. Cauliflower should be blanched when the head is about 2 to 3 inches for a white head. Pull 3 to 4 leaves over the head and rubber band. Blanching time is about 4 to 8 days.
