How to grow Cauliflower 'late white'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that late white is thought of as hardy, so this plant will grow or become dormant during the winter. A soil ph of between 6.5 and 7.0 is ideal for late white as it does best in weakly acidic soil - neutral soil.

Growing late white from seed

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.58 inches (1.5 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 3.12 inches (8.0 cm) between Cauliflower plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 24°C / 75°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing late white about 14 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting late white

As late white is hardy, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
