Cauliflower has a large, flat, central clusters of white flower buds called curds. The inner leaves on some kinds curve inwards to cover and blanch the curd. On others, the outer leaves need to be tied together to protect the curd from the sun or else it may turn an unattractive brownish-green color.
Cauliflower need an abundant amount of water and rich, fertile soil. They need a long, cool growing season. Cauliflower is very sensitive to stress and seedlings that are overly hardened, carelessly transplanted, planted too deep or stressed by weather may form small heads on dwarf plants. Light frost won’t hurt the seedlings.
