Notes

'Snow King' cauliflower (Brassica oleracea 'Snow King') is a vegetable for the food garden, border, and specimen planting. 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 grows in an erect form at a moderate pace. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers.

Pairs well with Red Sails lettuce, Lemon balm, and Six Hills Giant nepeta.
