This cauliflower lives up to its name with its amazing ability to hold its texture and flavour in the field or garden. Amazing can be harvested as baby heads or full size. At maturity, the 25cm (10") heads are large and self-blanching.
Some cauliflower varieties develop heads that are open and exposed to sunlight, but Amazing has large outer wrapper leaves that grow upright, sheltering the head from the sun. As a result, the heads do not need to be harvested with any great urgency, and you can pick them as you need them. The plants are medium sized, with domed, tightly packed curds, and they're not particularly fussy about temperature stress, either cold or hot. If you've had trouble in the past growing cauliflower, try Amazing—it's an excellent choice for cauliflower newbies.
