Hybrid varieties are often bred for disease resistance and uniformity, while heirloom varieties are open-pollinated and have been passed down through generations, often prized for their unique flavors and historical significance.
- Pruning and training: Cauliflower does not require extensive pruning. However, blanching (covering the heads with leaves) is recommended for white varieties to protect them from sunlight and maintain their color. This is typically done when the heads are about 2-3 inches in diameter.
- Fertilization needs: Cauliflower is a heavy feeder and benefits from regular fertilization. Use a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) at planting time and side-dress with nitrogen-rich fertilizer (e.g., fish emulsion or compost) every 3-4 weeks. Ensure consistent watering to prevent stress and promote healthy growth.
- Hardiness zones: Cauliflower is best suited for USDA hardiness zones 2-11. It is a cool-season crop that thrives in temperatures between 60-70°F (15-21°C).
- Climate requirements: Cauliflower requires a cool climate with consistent moisture. It does not tolerate extreme heat or frost. Ideal growing conditions include full sun and well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0.
