Brassica oleracea var. botrytis 'Snow Crown' ~ Snow Crown Cauliflower trees The broad maple-like leaves areSnow Crown Cauliflower is an early cool season annual that produces snow white fully domed curds that mature in 50 60 days and holds its prime eating quality for up to 10 days in the garden. The crowns have a mild sweet and nutty flavor. Best if grown in rich, consistently moist well drained loamy soils. Snow Crown has good frost tolerance, and may blush pink in summer heat which doesn't affect its flavor. Type: Annual Height: 1' 1. 5' Spread: 1. 5 2'
