250 Seeds Snowball Y Improved Cauliflower Heirloom Vegetable Garden Seeds

Snowball Y Improved is a classic white cauliflower variety valued for its uniform, compact heads and dependable performance in the garden. The plants grow vigorously and produce smooth, tightly packed curds that hold well when harvested at the right stage. This open-pollinated selection is a favorite among home gardeners seeking a reliable cool-season crop with a traditional appearance and texture.
Snowball Y Improved works well as a main-season cauliflower for fresh eating, roasting, steaming, or freezing. It performs best when grown in cool weather, either as a spring or fall crop, and benefits from consistent moisture and fertile soil. The heads are ready to cut when the curds are firm and tightly formed, before they begin to separate or discolor. Succession planting can extend the harvest window across the season.
