Notes
'Whitaker' cauliflower (Brassica oleracea 'Whitaker') is a vegetable for the 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 80 days. Bees and butterflies visit the white and green blooms.
Pairs well with Bouquet dill, Green Zebra tomato, and Lovage.
