Snowball is a well established cauliflower. Very early, dwarf compact plants produce a good size head; can be forced. Extremly reliable. Sow January under protection and the heads will be ready in late July to harvest. 21-26 weeks to maturity.

Sow the snowball cauliflower seeds in compost in seed tray or in small pots January-February under glass for July-August harvest. End of March-May outside in a seedbed, about 1 cm deep, or September-October in coldframes to overwinter.

When seedlings are large enough to handle, plant them individually, keep them inside until they have 4-6 leaves.

Plant outside, spacing 16in x 18in, in well drained soil, make sure you water the plants in sunny spells, protect from birds and slugs.
