Product Overview
Snow Crown is an early, dependable cauliflower that forms smooth, pure-white, semi-domed heads measuring 7–8 inches across (1–2 lb). Its mild, sweet flavor makes it perfect for steaming, roasting, or enjoying raw. Quick to mature—around 55 days from transplant—these heads stay firm and high-quality in the garden for up to 10 days after reaching full size. The vigorous plants perform well in cool weather and tolerate light heat or frost, making them a flexible choice for both spring and fall gardens.
