Cauliflower Romanesco Minaret
Cauliflower ‘Minaret’ (also known as Romanesco cauliflower) is one of the most visually stunning and rewarding brassicas you can grow. Its distinctive lime-green, spiral-shaped heads form perfect natural fractals — a breathtaking combination of flavour, productivity, and garden beauty.
 
This variety produces tightly packed, conical florets with a satisfying crisp texture and a mild, nutty flavour that’s delicious whether steamed, roasted, or eaten raw. ‘Minaret’ thrives in UK gardens, performing well in fertile, moisture-retentive soil with plenty of sun.
 
It’s a reliable choice for growers who want something a little more special than a traditional white cauliflower — with equally dependable yields. Strong plants form compact, evenly shaped heads that stand out in the vegetable patch and harvest basket. Ideal for home gardeners, allotment growers, and anyone seeking a unique cauliflower variety with excellent culinary versatility. With its combination of striking structure, vibrant colour, and outstanding taste, Cauliflower ‘Minaret’ is a must-grow brassica that always earns its place in the garden.
