Description
- ‘Tirza’ is a biblical name meaning ‘delight’ and we don’t think this cauliflower variety could be any better named!
- An early cropper, this variety is best planted in the spring to give you harvestable curds from the beginning of summer (however, you can also continue planting beyond spring; if planting in autumn, overwinter your cauliflower in a cold frame)
- A great veg to help get kids growing, use your harvested cauliflowers to make a creamy cauliflower cheese dish, roast them whole with cumin and turmeric, or bread the florets and whack them in the air fryer (the world really is your brassica-flavoured oyster)
- Flavour wise, ‘Tirza’ cauliflowers have an excellent, mellow nuttiness paired with subtle, sweet undertones
- Tragically, most of us don’t have access to XL allotments and instead have to work with the space we’ve got – whether that be a small courtyard garden, power washed patio or sunny city balcony. Fortunately, thanks to its compact nature, this variety is perfect for container growing, so you can grow cauliflowers to your heart’s content, no matter how limited you are on space!
- ‘Tirza’ has been awarded the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit, demonstrating its stellar performance in British gardens
