We're starting them for you! We're excited to offer our Twister Cauliflower plugs. Twister Cauliflower is a hybrid with large, heavy heads and excellent wrapping. This variety gets it name from the leaves that twist around the cauliflower head to wrap and protect it. Heads are bright white and tightly packed due to the incredible internal wrapping that this variety has. Twister produces uniform harvests with very few defects. It produces a near-perfect head every time. This variety is widely-adapted and has been shown to perform well from southern California to the northeast U.S. Twister Cauliflower is a great variety for backyard gardeners and small-market farmers. It has also been shown to perform particularly well in heavier soils. Roast these or put them in the air fryer for a quick, delicious treat!

Cauliflower crowns should be harvested when they reach about 5-6″ in diameter. As crowns become larger, plant leaves are less able to wrap the crowns adequately, which can cause discoloration by the sun. Although cauliflower leaves are frost-tolerant, the crowns are not. If frost is imminent while crowns are developing, be sure to use some form of row cover to protect the crowns from frost.
