Harvest
Brighten up dinnertime with unique Cauliflower ‘Depurple’, producing distinctive purple florets with a sweet, buttery flavour and delectable texture. Steam or lightly boil to retain the striking colour of the florets. This unusual purple cauliflower is rich in health-giving antioxidants.
Sow indoors
Sow thinly, 1cm (1/2in) deep in clean trays or modules of firm, pre-watered compost. Keep soil moist at all times.
Plant out
Plant into the required harvest position 45cm (18in) apart with 45cm (18in) between each row when plants have 3-4 true leaves. October sowings can be overwintered in a cold frame and planted out in March for the earliest harvests.
Sow outdoors
Sow thinly, 1cm (1/2in) deep in a seed bed or clean module trays of firm, pre-watered compost. Keep soil moist at all times. Thin to 10cm (4in).
Transplant
When seedlings have produced 4 leaves, transplant them to their cropping position leaving 45cm (18in) between plants in rows 45cm (18in) apart. Firm in and keep well watered in dry spells.
Tips
Use netting to prevent damage from Cabbage White Butterfly. Sprinkling with a little lemon juice before cooking helps to retain the colour.
How To Grow
Cauliflowers are a rewarding vegetable to grow, producing versatile heads that are delicious roasted, steamed, or added to soups. They thrive in nutrient-rich, well-drained soil with consistent moisture and firm ground to stop plants rocking in the wind, which can cause bolting and poor head formation. Start seeds indoors for strong early growth, then transplant into sunny spots with space for heads to develop. Protect young plants from slugs, caterpillars, and other pests.
Indoor Sowing Fill modular seed trays with fine seed compost and moisten before sowing. Place one seed per module to give space for roots to develop. Keep compost evenly moist using a gentle mist. Position trays in a warm, bright spot out of direct sunlight. Once seedlings develop true leaves or roots fill the modules, harden off before planting out.
Planting Out Harden seedlings over 7–14 days by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions. Transplant into pots or directly into beds once acclimatised.
Outdoor Sowing Choose naturally disease-resistant varieties to avoid club root. Use brassica collars to deter root fly and netting to protect from insects and birds. Plant seedlings 1cm deep, spacing 45cm between plants and 45cm between rows.
