Key Benefits
- Snow-White Heads: Produces creamy white, dense, and firm heads, making it visually appealing and ideal for culinary use.
- Fast-Maturing: Quick-growing, with heads ready to harvest in about 55-70 days from sowing, providing a fast turnaround for gardeners.
- High Yield: Produces consistent, high-quality heads, often with multiple side shoots, ensuring a bountiful harvest.
- Cold-Tolerant: Performs well in cool-season gardens and can tolerate light frost, making it ideal for early spring or fall harvests.

Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Spring or Fall: Ideal for early spring plantings or fall harvests, particularly in cooler climates. Plant after the last frost in spring, or 6-8 weeks before the first fall frost.
Planting Details
- Depth: Plant seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep in well-drained, loose soil.
- Spacing: Space plants 18-24 inches apart with rows 30-36 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation.
- Light: Prefers full sun, with at least 6 hours of sunlight per day for optimal growth.
- Soil: Best grown in loamy, well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0-7.0. Adding organic compost can improve soil fertility and structure.
Watering and Care
- Water Needs: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the head formation. Water deeply at the base of the plants to encourage healthy growth and prevent the heads from turning bitter.
- Fertilizing: Use a balanced, organic fertilizer or compost at planting time. You can apply additional fertilizer throughout the growing season to maintain healthy growth.
- Mulching: Apply organic mulch around the base of plants to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and keep the soil cool during hot weather.
- Thinning: Thin seedlings to 18-24 inches apart for proper plant growth and adequate spacing.
Harvesting
- When to Harvest: Snow Crown Cauliflower typically matures in 55-70 days, depending on growing conditions. Harvest when the heads are dense, firm, and snow-white in color.
- How to Harvest: Use a sharp knife to cut the head at the base of the plant. Leave some outer leaves intact to protect the remaining plants.
- Storage: Store cauliflower in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks. For longer storage, blanch and freeze the heads for later use.
Perfect For
- Fast, Reliable Harvests: Snow Crown is perfect for gardeners who want a quick and dependable harvest of high-quality cauliflower.
- Cool-Season Gardening: Ideal for planting in early spring or fall, as it tolerates cool weather and can handle light frost.
- Fresh Eating or Cooking: Enjoy the creamy white heads in salads, soups, stews, or roasted dishes. The tender texture and mild flavor make it a great addition to any meal.
