Description

White Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) is a popular vegetable known for its large, compact, creamy-white heads surrounded by broad green leaves. This productive variety develops firm, tender florets with a mild, slightly sweet flavour, making it an excellent choice for home vegetable gardens.

Perfect for roasting, steaming, soups, vegetable dishes and cauliflower mash, White Cauliflower is a versatile and nutritious addition to Mediterranean cooking. It grows particularly well during Malta’s cooler months.

🌱 Growing Instructions

☀️ Sunlight: Prefers full sun, with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.

💧 Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Regular watering is essential for developing firm, healthy heads.

🌱 Soil: Plant in fertile, well-draining soil enriched with compost or organic matter.

🌡️ Temperature: Grows best between 15°C–20°C. Excessive heat can affect head development and quality.

📏 Spacing: Allow approximately 50–60 cm between plants for healthy growth and proper head development.

🌾 Fertilizer: Apply a balanced vegetable fertilizer every 2–3 weeks during active growth, following product instructions.

✂️ Harvesting: Harvest when the white head is firm, compact and fully developed, before the florets begin to separate. Approximately 100–110 days to maturity, depending on growing conditions.

🌿 Local Growing Tips (Malta)

Best planting season: September to February, for growing during the cooler months.

Position: Sunny vegetable gardens or raised beds with fertile soil and good drainage.

Companion plants: Lettuce, celery, onions and aromatic herbs.

Common issue: Cabbage caterpillars and aphids can damage leaves. Inspect plants regularly and use protective insect netting when necessary. Cover developing heads with their outer leaves if needed to protect them from direct sunlight and maintain their white colour.
