Grow something truly eye-catching with Green Macerata Cauliflower, a beautiful Italian heirloom variety known for producing striking lime-green to bright green cauliflower heads with excellent flavor and texture.

Green Macerata forms large, dense heads surrounded by broad blue-green leaves. The florets have a tender, slightly sweet flavor and a firm texture that works beautifully for roasting, steaming, sautéing, soups, casseroles, and fresh vegetable dishes.

This unique cauliflower is a great choice for gardeners looking to add unusual color to the vegetable garden while still enjoying the familiar flavor and versatility of traditional cauliflower.

Green Macerata performs best in cool weather and can be grown in garden rows, raised beds, and larger containers with rich soil and consistent moisture.

Growing Info

Start Indoors: Sow seeds indoors approximately 4–6 weeks before your intended transplant date.

Sowing Depth: Plant seeds approximately ¼ inch deep in a moist seed-starting mix.

Germination: Keep soil evenly moist and moderately warm until seedlings emerge.

Transplanting: Move seedlings outdoors once they have several true leaves and weather conditions are cool and suitable. Harden seedlings off gradually before transplanting.

Spacing: Space plants approximately 18–24 inches apart to allow mature heads and foliage plenty of room.

Sunlight: Provide at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.

Soil: Grow in rich, fertile, well-draining soil with plenty of organic matter.

Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, especially while heads are forming. Avoid prolonged dry periods.

Feeding: Cauliflower is a heavy feeder and benefits from fertile soil and regular nutrition throughout the growing season.

Harvest: Harvest when the green head is firm, dense, and well formed before florets begin to loosen or separate.
