Cheddar Hybrid Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) is a unique variety known for its vibrant orange curds. This high-yielding, early-maturing cauliflower produces dense, smooth heads with a mild, nutty flavor, perfect for roasting, steaming, mashing, or fresh eating. Its natural orange color deepens when cooked, adding visual appeal to dishes, and there is no need to tie leaves over the head—light helps the color develop.
Like all cauliflower, Cheddar forms its best heads in cool weather; heat can cause small, loose, or bolting heads. Start seeds 10–12 weeks before your first fall frost for a fall crop, or indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost in cold regions (zones 3–6). Keep soil evenly moist for steady growth. With good disease resistance, Cheddar Hybrid is an excellent choice for home gardeners and market growers seeking a colorful twist on traditional cauliflower. 10 seeds per pack.

Seeds looked fresh and germinated well for me. Packaging was careful and clear.
Good germination so far. Excited to grow these in my raised beds this season.
