We’ve selected Cauliflower Boris F1 to withstand all weather conditions, under all levels of care, in any type of soil. If you’re new to cauliflower growing or have had poor results in the past, Cauliflower Boris F1 is for you! This really is a gardener-friendly variety.Best sown in individual pots or seed tray of good seed compost and cover with 6mm (1/4in) of compost or vermiculite, at a minimum of 15C (60)F, until germination which takes around 7 days. Alternatively sow thinly in a prepared seedbed 13mm (1/2in) deep, allowing 30cm (12in) between rows.Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into larger pots, or transplant from the seedbed around 5 weeks from sowing. Allow 30cm (12in) between plants each way for ‘baby heads’ or 60cm (24in) each way for larger heads. Plant firmly to obtain best quality heads.Try growing cauliflowers with Nasturtiums to draw cabbage white butterflies away from your crop, and mint to help deter flea beetles.
