This hybrid cauliflower variety produces generous 4 to 5-pound heads with a distinctive yellowish color and loose, elongated florets on long stems. Ready to harvest in 50 to 59 days (spring plantings typically mature in 55 to 60 days, while fall crops take 65 to 70 days), it's a non-GMO hybrid that thrives across spring, summer, and fall growing seasons. The separated curds signal peak harvest time, making this variety both reliable and easy to recognize when it's ready to cut.

The pale yellow head with its characteristically loose, elongated florets and sturdy long stems sets this hybrid apart from compact green or white varieties. It germinates best at 70 degrees Fahrenheit and establishes strong growth at cooler temperatures around 60 degrees, which means it adapts well to both spring and fall planting windows. With roughly 8,900 seeds per ounce, this non-GMO hybrid delivers consistent production across multiple growing seasons without the complications of GMO genetics.
This cauliflower variety serves well in the kitchen as a roasted side dish, steamed vegetable accompaniment, or raw addition to vegetable platters. The loose, elongated florets make it particularly suited to preparations that benefit from individual curds rather than compact florets, such as stir-fries, curried dishes, or when presentation of distinct pieces matters.
No timeline data available yet for this variety.
Start seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before your last spring frost or target transplant date. Maintain soil temperature at 70 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal germination, then reduce to approximately 60 degrees after seedling emergence to promote sturdy, compact transplants.
Transplant seedlings outdoors once they have developed true leaves and soil has warmed to at least 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Set plants 36 inches apart in rows to provide ample space for their long-stemmed growth habit. For continuous harvest, stagger plantings every 2 to 3 weeks through summer.
Monitor heads closely once plants reach 50 to 59 days after transplanting, though exact timing varies seasonally (spring harvests typically occur around 55 to 60 days, fall harvests around 65 to 70 days). Watch for the florets to elongate noticeably and the curds to begin separating from one another; this is your visual signal that harvest is imminent. Cut the head cleanly at the base with a sharp knife when the curds have started to separate but before they become loose and scattered. Harvest in the early morning when temperatures are cool for the crispest texture.
