Brassica oleracea botrytis InformationEasy to grow in Dunedin. The hardest part is harvest, if left too long they tend to bolt. In my experience the best cauliflower are the Cheddar Cauliflower available in about October in most garden shops around town including Mitre-10. They grow reliably, don't bold, and have a fantastic crunch to them.
Plant Plant in trays apparently all year round!
Germination 5 days, but for All The Year Round the germination rate is very low (2 of 20 germinated)
Harvest 70 days

Home Harvest (Evandale) Success In 2011 this was a successful crop for me.
