"Beta" is the earliest variety for cultivation in the field. It produces large, compact heads with a convincing taste. The flowers have a pure white color and do not tend to turn yellow or pink.
Non hybrid
Frostproof
Prefers humusy, calcareous, deep, slightly heavier soil in a sunny location. An even supply of water and nutrients is important during growth. When planting seedlings, the soil should be moist and you should water the seedlings well. The inflorescences can be cut off with a short stalk for harvesting. Cauliflower can be harvested well into the winter as it can withstand sub-zero temperatures. However, the plants will still be happy if you cover them with fleece. For early varieties, it is a good idea to pre-grow the plants indoors. If your soil is not very calcareous, liming is recommended to reduce susceptibility to cabbage blight.
