Cauliflower
Purple Crush
This top-quality new cauliflower grows smoothly into big domed heads with a beautiful rich purple color and superb mild, nutty, sweet flavor. Purple Crush really looks sensational in the garden, and in the kitchen, the purple florets offer both extra antioxidants and great taste.
This vigorous new variety can be planted in both early spring and midsummer for abundant fall harvests. Enjoy the crisp florets cut up raw, lightly steamed with butter, or toss with olive oil and roast to nutty perfection.
Quick Info
May - June
March - April July - August
Full sun
1 inch apart 1/4 inch deep
7 - 10 days
BEST TO START INDOORS
Start seeds 4 to 5 weeks before last expected frost. Sow 1 inch apart in a container of seed starting mix and cover 1/4 inch deep. Keep moist but not soggy. Provide a strong light source until seedlings are ready to plant out. When seedlings have 2 to 3 sets of true leaves, acclimate to outdoor conditions and transplant 12 to 18 inches apart into rich, well-drained soil in full sun. In mild winter climates, sow again in mid-summer for a fall crop.
TO START OUTDOORS
About 4 to 6 weeks before last frost, sow groups of 2 to 3 seeds 12 to 18 inches apart and 1/4 inch deep in well-drained, fertile soil in full sun. Tend carefully and thin to 1 strong seedling per group when several inches tall. Proper thinning is critical for successful heads.
GROWING NOTES
Fertilize growing cauliflower every three weeks and keep well weeded and watered to provide the rapid growth cauliflower requires to form good heads. Purple Crush’s outer wrapper leaves help shield its heads from sun discoloration. Harvest the deep purple heads promptly when fully filled out. Nontoxic “BT” (Bacillus thuringiensis) products work well to control caterpillar pests.
