Cauliflower Sigurd

CAULIFLOWER SIGURD F1 - VARIETY CHARACTERISTICS

Sigurd F1 is a modern, versatile cauliflower variety intended for harvest from mid-August through late autumn. The growing period is 80–85 days, allowing flexible harvest planning for both main and catch crops. The plants are distinguished by strong vigour and an upright habit, making them very convenient for cultivation and harvesting.

The heads are snow-white, compact, heavy, and very well covered with leaves, ensuring high commercial quality. Due to uniformity of the plants, the harvest window is short and easy to plan. Transplanted at the end of May, they reach harvest maturity after about 80 days.
