Thompson & Morgan Cauliflower Whitex Postiplugs 12 Pack

Cauliflower ‘Whitex’ is a unique variety with the whitest curds you will see! A revolution in breeding and development, these cauliflowers have been cleverly hybridised to stay white, and they will not discolour in sunlight. The leaves will not cover the cauliflower, and the plant will grow upright so this will make it nice and easy to see whether they are ready to harvest. These will even stay white after harvest and storage. Remove the plants from packaging immediately in receipt. Water if the compost is dry. Once planted water well to help settle the soil. Plant in a well-drained soil in a position where it can get plenty of sun. Plant 45cm (18”) between plants and then 60cm (24”) between rows. In its early stages ensure it is watered regularly to help prevent the formation of small heads. Bend the larger leaves over the head to protect from the sun and help prevent discolouration. Water cauliflowers regularly and do not allow them to dry out as this may impair their development. Hoe between plants regularly to prevent weeds from establishing and bring insect larvae to the surface. Autumn cauliflowers can be harvested from late September when the curds are fully matured, and while they are still tight and firm. Culinary note: Cauliflowers freeze well.
