Named for its stunning, ivory-white heads and perfectly round shape, this variety is prized for its ability to produce high-quality, dense curds much faster than later-maturing types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eSnowball Early is particularly celebrated for its smooth, fine-grained texture and a mild, nutty sweetness that far surpasses store-bought alternatives. The plants are naturally compact, making them an excellent choice for smaller raised beds or home vegetable patches. The heavy, self-blanching outer leaves wrap protectively around the developing \"snowballs,\" keeping the sun at bay to ensure your harvest remains pristine, white, and tender.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eGrowing Information (Australia):\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"17\"\u003eBrassica oleracea var. botrytis\u003c\/i\u003e 'Snowball Early'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSowing Season:\u003c\/b\u003e * \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"17\"\u003eTemperate\/Cool:\u003c\/b\u003e Best sown in Late Summer through to Autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8,1,1\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,1,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,1,1,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSubtropical\/Tropical:\u003c\/b\u003e Late Autumn and Winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePosition:\u003c\/b\u003e Full sun; requires rich, well-composted, and consistently moist soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSowing Depth:\u003c\/b\u003e 6mm–10mm deep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/b\u003e 45cm apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eGermination:\u003c\/b\u003e 7–12 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,6,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,6,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/b\u003e 70–80 days from transplanting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,7,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,7,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eGardener’s Tip:\u003c\/b\u003e Cauliflower is a \"sensitive\" grower—ensure there are no checks in growth by keeping watering consistent and feeding with a high-nitrogen organic liquid fertiliser every few weeks.
