Botanical Interests® Cauliflower Twister - (~20 seeds)
Known for its well-wrapping leaves, 'Twister' self-blanches and reliably shields the snowy white heads from sun scald and rain discoloration. This variety consistently produces uniform, dense, medium-large heads, and can withstand heat; in mild climates, it can even be grown year round! Mature cauliflower heads can be picked right away , but also hold well in the garden to extend the harvest.
