CAULIFLOWER ‘SPEED STAR’

Speedy by name, speedy by nature: this is an F1 hybrid cauli that’s claimed to mature ‘weeks earlier’ than regular types, producing small curds that are ‘a little bigger than a tennis ball’. Upright leaves provide good protection from the weather. Sow from late-March to July and harvest from late-July to October. New from Dobies. Price: £2.99 for 25 seeds.
