Growing instructions:
Sow seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost, keeping the soil moist and around 18–22°C for optimal germination. Once seedlings are ready, transplant them outdoors after the last frost, spacing plants 45–60 cm apart. Romanesco thrives in cool weather, so ensure consistent moisture and avoid heat stress. Use a balanced fertilizer to encourage healthy growth, and harvest when the heads are firm and compact.
