White Vidoke Cauliflower

White Vidoke Cauliflower is a top-quality variety with a very late growing cycle. Few but large leaves support a pure white head with its characteristic large, round shape.

The White Vidoke Cauliflower Plant

Its botanical name is Brassica oleracea var. botrytis, belonging to the Cruciferae family (Brassicaceae). The plant produces few but large leaves, enough to support and protect the white head throughout its long winter growing cycle.

How to Sow White Vidoke Cauliflower

Transplanting should be done from August to September, so the cauliflower can be harvested during the coldest months, nearly through to April. Its very long growing cycle makes it one of the latest varieties among white cauliflowers.

How to Grow White Vidoke Cauliflower

White Vidoke cauliflower prefers medium-textured, cool, well-drained soils with a pH between 6.5 and 7.5. Thanks to its extended cycle, it withstands winter cold well, but needs regular irrigation in the early stages after transplanting to ensure good establishment.

The staggered harvest, which can extend into April, provides fresh heads for most of the winter and early spring.

Tips for Growing White Vidoke Cauliflower

Given its very long time in the field, it is important to keep the soil free of weeds and periodically monitor plant health. Respect transplanting distances (50-60 cm along the row, 60-80 cm between rows), wider for late, vigorous varieties like this one.

Diseases and Pests of white Vidoke cauliflower

Like other Brassicaceae, it can be affected by downy mildew and bacterial diseases, favoured by prolonged humidity. Cabbage white caterpillars are the most common pests: good weed control and targeted Bacillus thuringiensis treatments help keep them in check.

Properties of white Vidoke cauliflower

White Vidoke cauliflower is low in calories yet highly nutritious, rich in vitamin C, fibre and minerals such as potassium and phosphorus. It is an excellent source of fresh vegetables during the winter months, when seasonal produce is more limited.
