Mike,

Where did you get seeds. It is looking like most are sold out of Graffiti.  I may try this variety too, for this fall.

We've had great success with the "Violeta" purple variety in the fall.  The heads on this variety are a little smaller than Graffiti.  Violeta is very cold hardy, we harvested until the mid-December.  Chefs and market customers love the slight spicy flavor and the vivid color.  

Peace,

We only grow it in the fall here – SC KY, zone 7a (or 6b depending on where you look).  It is late – we usually harvest it in November from a late summer transplanting.  However, it IS worth it!  It is gorgeous!  Just wish we could figure out how to have it early enough for our farmers market booth, because it would really dress it up.

This will be the first year I will try to grow this purple cauliflower.  I just got the seed yesterday.  It has been on backorder for months.  Is it too late to plant it for a spring crop or should I just wait and try to plant it this fall?  I read it does better in the fall.  Does anyone have experience with this variety.

I will be transplanting my other cauliflower this weekend.

Thanks,
Jay
