Grow a striking and dependable heirloom with Green Macerata Cauliflower Seeds, an Italian variety known for its vivid green curds and mild, buttery flavor. This rare cauliflower adds visual appeal and nutritional diversity to home gardens, offering reliable performance across seasons. Compact 2-foot plants form 2-pound heads in just 60–70 days, thriving in both cool and moderately warm conditions for spring or fall harvests.

Distinctive Flavor & Garden Value

  • Bright green heads offer a unique, colorful twist on traditional white cauliflower.
  • Smooth, buttery flavor pairs beautifully with both raw and cooked dishes.
  • High yield and early maturity make it a favorite for productive gardens.

Why Gardeners Love Green Macerata

  • Rare heirloom variety from Italy, prized for flavor and appearance.
  • Hardy and adaptable, tolerates heat and dry spells better than most types.
  • Compact growth habit suits raised beds, containers, or small garden plots.
  • Excellent for food preservation — florets freeze, roast, or pickle beautifully.
  • Supports self-reliance through reliable yields and seed-saving potential.

How to Grow

  1. Sow seeds ½ inch deep in well-drained soil under full sun.
  2. Space plants 18–24 inches apart to allow for mature head development.
  3. Maintain even soil moisture and mulch to retain water and reduce weeds.
  4. Seeds germinate in 10–15 days at 60–75°F.
  5. Harvest heads when firm and fully developed for the best flavor and texture.

Harvest & Use

Enjoy Green Macerata Cauliflower fresh in salads, roasted, or pickled for a gourmet touch. For long-term storage, freeze blanched florets to preserve their bright color and delicate taste.
