Notes
'Twister' cauliflower (Brassica oleracea 'Twister') is a vegetable for the food garden, borders, and specimen planting. It is typically grown as an annual. It ranks among the more cold-hardy crops, and with some winter protection it keeps growing through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Its erect stems bloom in spring and summer, and the flowers draw butterflies and bees. It also tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Bull's Blood beet, Scallion green onion, and Genovese basil.
