Easy to grow, 'Lila' cauliflower is suitable for both amateur and experienced gardeners. Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly into the ground when the soil has warmed. Plant 0.5-1 cm deep in rich soil, and space plants 60-80 cm apart. Germination occurs in 7-14 days.
Water regularly to maintain consistent moisture and apply mulch to reduce weeds and keep the soil cool. Harvest heads when they are well formed and still firm to ensure optimum flavour and texture.
