85 days. Have you tried Romanesco Cauliflower yet? Veronica is the finest variety we have seen, with very symmetrical, absolutely lovely lime-green heads topped by tightly beaded, pointed domes. Excellent raw or cooked, it boasts a milder, sweeter flavor than white Cauliflower, to say nothing of its appetizing visual appeal!

Native to the Mediterranean coast of Italy between Naples and Rome, Romanesco is often called “Italian Cauliflower,” and it is a member of the Cauliflower family. Veronica is one of its most spectacular members, with lime-green heads, perfect spiraling, and a crisp, rich flavor that works well fresh or cooked.

Veronica grows vigorously, demonstrating excellent heat tolerance. Best as a fall crop, it should be picked young, when the heads are small, for the ultimate in tender flavor. Excellent for pickling as antipasto, too! Pkt is 20 seeds.
