Clubroot Resistant! The first cauliflower with Clubroot resistance. Cauliflower Clapton is a versatile late summer to late autumn maturing variety, depending on its sowing time. Produces excellent flavoured quality, uniform, large, solid and deep white heads. It has taken over 18 years of conventional breeding to develop a variety that can combat the devastating brassica disease Clubroot and this superb variety is the most resistant we have ever grown on our trials Andrew Tokely says: Both myself and many other allotment growers believe that Cauliflower Clapton has changed the way that we grow cauliflower. Its Clubroot Resistance is almost foolproof on all soils, even if this dreadful soil borne disease has been present before. Also good sized curds are produced and melt in the mouth.
Created a great deal of interest when grown at the Scottish Horticultural Research Institute, yet it is very widely grown in Northern Italy. The 'spears' can be snapped off individually or all together. Broccoli Romanesco has a taste and texture exceeding the finest broccoli and to really appreciate the flavour it should be cooked and served individually with melted butter.
A very useful, very white, dwarf variety that can be sown and harvested at most of the cauliflower harvesting periods of the year.

Prefers a moist, rich well drained soil for optimum heads. Height: 60cm (24). Spread: 75cm (30).
