(60 days) F-1 hybrid. This great cauliflower is distinguished by both a luxury of fine-textured curd and tender nutty stems. Developed from lesser-known tropical and Italian lines of annual summer cauliflower, Fioretto’s breathtaking coral-like beauty and unusual stick-type form was an unexpected surprise in our trials. The Fioretto class produces a large slightly flattened 8–14" head with creamy curds atop a somewhat loose bouquet of longer stems. As the head begins to expand into slightly spaced irregularity, each floret gently extends into a single-serve branch that should be harvested individually. In Japan, where this variety originated, it’s enjoyed as a pickled delicacy with unique beauty. When cooked, the tasty stems brighten to lime green and compliment the sweet button-like florets of curds. Perfect for cutting-edge chefs, markets, and your own salads, pickles and sautées. Plant once temperatures have warmed to help the plants develop enough that they do not head too early. ⑤
