Notes

'Flame Star' cauliflower (Brassica oleracea 'Flame Star') is a vegetable for a food garden, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is one of the more cold-hardy crops and can keep growing through light freezes with some winter protection. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It matures in 62 days, and bees and butterflies visit it.

Pairs well with Scallion green onion, Lemon balm, and Amish Paste tomato.
