Sow seeds in 72-cell plug flats, keeping soil at least 70°F (21°C) until germination, then maintaining 60°F (16°C) thereafter. Seedlings should be ready to transplant in 4 to 6 weeks.
Transplant seedlings outdoors when no older than 4 to 5 weeks old; older, stressed plants perform poorly. Harden off plants gradually by increasing cold exposure before moving them outside. Space plants 18 inches apart with 24 to 36 inches between rows.
Harvest heads when they reach full size and the curds remain firm and tightly clustered. At 73 days from transplant, Denali heads should be ready to cut from the plant.
