'Tirza' Cauliflower Plants
- '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

Meet Cameron
An experienced hand from seed to harvest
When it comes to veg plants, if Cameron doesn’t know about it? It ain’t worth knowing. They’re one of his horticultural passions and the quality of the produce he – well, produces – at the nursery is testament to that fact. Cameron pairs time-honoured horticultural traditions alongside the very best modern techniques in our fabulous, purpose-built nursery in Evesham. With a background that saw him place at the Grand Finals at the Young Horticultural Awards back in 2022, we’re proud to have someone that really knows his onions.
