Product description

Cauliflower 'Aalsmeer' is a winter-hardy variety, prized for its ability to produce compact, white curds even in cooler weather. This robust plant is perfect for gardeners seeking a reliable crop during the autumn and winter months. The 'Aalsmeer' cauliflower thrives in the UK climate, making it a popular choice for those who want to extend their vegetable harvesting season. Its curds are dense and flavourful, ideal for a variety of culinary uses from steaming to roasting.

Sow Cauliflower 'Aalsmeer' seeds indoors from February to May for an early start, or directly outdoors from May to June in well-prepared, fertile soil. Seedlings can be transplanted into their final growing positions in June or July, spaced 60cm apart to allow for full development. Choose a sunny, sheltered location to ensure the best growth and curd formation. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells, to maintain steady growth.

Harvest your 'Aalsmeer' cauliflower from October through to March, depending on when you sowed the seeds. The curds should be firm and fully developed before harvesting. Regular checks are recommended to ensure they are picked at the peak of their condition, providing fresh, homegrown cauliflower through the winter months. Consistent care and a well-drained, fertile soil will yield the best results, making 'Aalsmeer' an excellent addition to any winter vegetable garden.
