What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Bring extraordinary color and rich nutrition to your garden with Di Sicilia Violetto Purple Cauliflower Seeds (Brassica oleracea). This rare Italian heirloom variety produces striking violet-purple curds with a tender texture and subtly nutty, sweet flavor. Known for both its beauty and productivity, it matures into a compact, easy-to-harvest plant, ideal for raised beds, containers, and small garden spaces.

A Vibrant, Nutritious Heirloom

  • Deep purple curds retain their color beautifully when roasted, steamed, or pickled.
  • Rich in antioxidants and vitamins, offering more nutrients than traditional white cauliflower.
  • Nutty, slightly sweet flavor elevates everyday dishes and adds a gourmet touch.

Why Gardeners Love Di Sicilia Violetto

  • Rare Italian heirloom prized for beauty, flavor, and resilience.

How to Grow

  1. Sow seeds ½ inch deep in fertile, well-drained soil under full sun.
  2. Maintain consistent moisture during germination (10–15 days at 60–75°F).
  3. Space plants 18–24 inches apart for best head development.
  4. Mulch to retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.
  5. Harvest heads when firm and fully colored for peak flavor and texture.

Days to Maturity: 70–80 days

Harvest & Use

Use Di Sicilia Violetto to add a vibrant twist to your meals — enjoy it raw in salads, roasted, or stir-fried for a colorful presentation. Its florets freeze and pickle well, making it a smart choice for gardeners focused on food security and preservation.
