Planting Instructions

Planting Season

• Spring or Fall: Best planted in early spring after the last frost or late summer for a fall harvest. DePurple cauliflower thrives in cool weather, so avoid planting it during the heat of summer.

Planting Details

• Depth: Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in moist, well-drained, and fertile soil.
• Spacing: Space seedlings about 18-24 inches apart to allow the plants to fully mature.
• Light: Prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in warmer climates.
• Soil: Grows best in loamy, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Adding compost can help improve soil fertility and texture.

Watering and Care

• Water Needs: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the head formation phase. Water deeply, ensuring the soil remains evenly moist but not waterlogged.
• Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer, or amend with compost, to provide essential nutrients that promote robust growth.
• Mulching: Use mulch around the base to maintain soil moisture and suppress weeds, particularly during dry spells.
• Thinning: Thin seedlings to 18-24 inches apart to prevent overcrowding and allow enough space for each plant to grow a large head.

Harvesting

• When to Harvest: DePurple cauliflower typically matures in 8-10 weeks. Harvest when the heads are compact, firm, and the color is an intense purple.
• How to Harvest: Cut the head off at the base with a sharp knife, leaving some leaves attached to protect the head.
• Storage: Store harvested cauliflower in the refrigerator, where it will stay fresh for up to 1-2 weeks. You can also freeze it by blanching it first.

Perfect For

• Home Gardens: DePurple cauliflower is perfect for home gardeners looking for a unique and eye-catching vegetable with a health boost.
• Cool-Season Gardens: Ideal for planting in cooler seasons (spring and fall) or cooler climates.
• Health-Conscious Cooks: Adds a burst of color and flavor to dishes like roasted cauliflower, salads, and stir-fries while providing added antioxidants from the purple pigment.
