Overview

Cauliflower 'Graffiti' F1 produces dense, rich deep purple curds that are not only unusual but full of flavour. The heads reach a good size - about 16cm in diameter and they look stunning in the garden or on a dinner plate.

Cauliflower 'Graffiti' heads make unusual deep purple raw crudités especially when mixed with lime-green Cauliflower 'Romanesco' and pure white Cauliflower 'All Year Round'. A talking point at the dinner table. They can also be cooked like white cauliflowers but the colour keeps better if the florets are steamed rather than boiled. A little lemon juice in the water can also reduce the bleeding too!

It is usual to cover the heads of white cauliflowers with their own leaves to prevent the curds from yellowing with the sun but this purple one benefits from sunlight exposure making the curds a deeper purple.

A healthy purple veg full of antioxidants!

Imagine a row of Lime-Green / Purple / White cauliflowers in the veg patch – stunning!

Seed qty (approx) 15
Sowing months March, April, May
Site conditions Full sun, fertile, firm soil that is moisture retentive.
How to sow Indoors: March-April. Outdoors: April-May. Sow in modules/cells 1cm deep & water carefully. Germination usually takes 7-10 days. When 7-10cm tall - usually 5-6 weeks after sowing, transplant out after ‘hardening off’ for 3-4 days. Space plants 60cm apart, in rows 60cm apart. Soil must be firm, so tread down soil well after planting. Seeds can also be sown outdoors in a well-prepared seedbed from April to May, and the seedlings transplanted to their final position 6 weeks later.
Care Keep well watered as water shortage can lead to cauliflowers bolting & weed free. Keep an eye out for pests such as slugs/snails, pigeons and diseases like clubroot.
Harvest August to October.
