The Patient Cauliflower.

This cauliflower lives up to its name with amazing holding ability in the garden. The huge 10-inch heads, well protected by big wrapper leaves, retain all their flavor and texture over a very long period in the field, so that you can pick just what you need when you need it (why can't all vegetables be this way).

The 10-inch heads are rounded, very dense, and tightly zoned into small florets. Bright ivory beads keep their color well, and the flavor is magnificent—crisp, tangy, and full-bodied. The plants are very heavy-bearing, so you can expect a large crop that lasts even longer than you thought possible. Try one season of Amazing and enjoy the difference this holding power makes in your harvest schedule.

Cauliflower is a cool-season crop suitable for spring and fall cultivation. For spring, sow seeds indoors 5 to 7 weeks before setting out as soon as the soil is workable. For fall, begin seeds in late summer. Set the seedlings 18 inches apart in the garden.
