Cultivation and care

Sowing: Sow indoors or in a cold frame from May to July. After about four weeks, the seedlings can be planted out at 50 x 50 cm spacings. Flora Blanca BIO grows vigorously and forms a sturdy plant with broad leaves that provide good protection from sun and rain.

Soil: Cauliflower is a heavy feeder and needs nutritious, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Avoid waterlogging—wet feet can cause root rot.
Watering: Keep the soil moist but not too wet. Regular watering promotes even growth and prevents cracking.
Fertilizing: Preferably add organic fertilizer or compost before planting, and again during the growth phase if necessary.

Care: When the flower begins to form, the outer leaves can be gently folded over the flower head to keep it nice and white and to protect it from direct sunlight.


Harvest and use

Flora Blanca BIO can be harvested from early September to February, depending on sowing time and weather conditions. The flowers remain firm and retain their flavor, even at lower temperatures.

Harvest tips:

  • Harvest once the flower heads are firm, dense and bright white.

  • If necessary, leave some outer leaves on the plant for protection against light frost.

  • Harvest when severe frost is likely to occur to prevent damage.

Culinary applications:
The Flora Blanca BIO is a versatile cauliflower with a mild, slightly nutty flavour that is ideal for many dishes:

  • Boiled or steamed as a classic side dish

  • In casseroles or gratins

  • For cauliflower soup, puree or mashed potatoes

  • Raw as a crunchy snack or in salads

The natural cultivation and rich aroma make this cauliflower a favourite in organic cuisine.
