Hi All
I have invested in a orange coloured cauli from Kings seeds called Sunset. I am looking forward to growing them and the new season can't come quick enough. Has anyone else tried growing these and did you have sucess or failure. Do they need any special attention or are they left to get on with it. I would be interested to hear of your experiences growing cauli's not only Sunset.
cheers now

I bought some cauliflower plants last year from T & M that were all different colours and Sunset were one of the varieties. They grew into smallish nice orange coloured plants, but were the most tender of all the ones I grew, so eat them before any frosts spoil them.

They don't need any special treatment apart from good fertile soil and plenty of water, and plant them nice and firmly in the soil.

I think the purple one called Graffti withstood a few frosts and was a good flavour and colour too.
