Description

Be sure to check out our Cauliflower Growing Guide for more tips & tricks on successfully growing cauliflower in your garden.

Graffiti Cauliflower is one of the most visually appealing varieties you can grow in a vegetable garden. The bright purple heads are guaranteed to satisfy on a raw vegetable platter or roasted. The heads maintain their color while cooking, although they do turn to a darker, bluish-purple once cooked. To maintain the bright purple color, add a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to the cooking water. Graffiti Cauliflower has traditionally large plants and produces medium to large-size heads. Because the heads are darker, they require less wrapping than white cauliflower varieties. This means the harvest window is more flexible. Heads are densely-packed and well-domed. Graffiti performs best when grown for fall harvest, but also has heat and humidity-tolerance for early spring plantings.

Cauliflower may be direct-seeded, but it performs best when transplanted. Transplanting allows for more consistent plant spacing, and prevents cauliflower seedlings from competing with weeds in the early stages of the plant. We recommend starting transplants 3-4 weeks before the desired outdoor planting date. Cauliflower transplants grow great in our heavy-duty seed starting trays, where they develop a solid root ball with roots that are trained to grow downward. Plants are ready to go in the ground when they can be easily pulled from the cells in the seed starting tray.

Cauliflower crowns should be harvested when they reach about 5-6" in diameter. As crowns become larger, plant leaves are less able to wrap the crowns adequately, which can cause discoloration by the sun. Although cauliflower leaves are frost-tolerant, the crowns are not. If frost is imminent while crowns are developing, be sure to use some form of row cover to protect the crowns from frost.

This cauliflower variety is the very first time I have been successful growing cauliflower! Plus, it's delicious, so delicious that we have not yet eaten it cooked because every time I harvest a head, we just gobble it up! We are located in Central Florida on the nature coast for reference as to our growing zone. I still can't believe we can now grow cauliflower. I had almost given up; this was my last shot. Thank you!
