This Italian heirloom is a striking addition to any garden. Bright purple in color, with large 2-3lb heads. Once cooked, the purple heads will turn green. This variety is loaded with vitamins and minerals which gives it a sweet, delicate flavor. Naturally insect repellent.
Purple of Sicily Cauliflower
I think I got near perfect germination on these. Cauliflower has always been challenging for me to time it out and know when to harvest. I've been learning that crops that have purple or reds in them (looking at my red lettuce varieties and purple sprouting broccoli) seem to bolt less quickly than their green counterparts in heat.
Grew these last spring and they not only look stunning but taste great!

Growing nicely
Amazing germination rates!! I started the whole package since I needed at least 20 pepper plants for my spring plant sale and my heat mat was being used for hot peppers. I think every one of them germinated, so I'm now overrun with Keystone Bell peppers - not a bad problem to have.
I only have these seeds started inside at the moment. Germination was good, and true leaves have started. I greatly appreciate the wax paper envelope inside to contain the tiny seeds.
Started the cosmos indoors, and they are huge and blooming already. I’ll be transplanting them in the garden next week. I love the bright white flowers. They are gorgeous and will be perfect for my pollinator patch.
Great seeds!
I started germinating these in cells (2 per cell) and all of them have come up so far. Getting ready to transplant them and will stick them in the ground in about a month. Really looking forward to how they look with the other hollyhock varieties I purchased!
