Flame Star Cauliflower is a certified organic live 3-inch starter plant that produces dense heads in a soft apricot-orange — a genuine color, not a novelty, and one that deepens rather than fades with a light cooking.

It is an unusually easy cauliflower. Flame Star needs no blanching, since the color is the point, and it holds well in both spring and fall plantings where white varieties can be fussy about heat. The florets are mild and sweet, good raw on a board with something to dip them in, and good roasted until the edges catch. Full sun, rich soil and steady moisture.

Fun fact: the orange comes from a single natural mutation found in a Canadian field in 1970 that left the plant unable to stop storing beta-carotene. Every orange cauliflower descends from that one plant.
