Cauliflower & Romanesco Cauliflower

[digitS']

Is there a chance that Romanesco Cauliflower would be able to handle a semi-arid climate better than the regular, white type?

Whatever your gardening climate, have you had experience with this cauliflower?

Romanesco cauliflower can be more drought-tolerant than regular white cauliflower. I've grown it in a semi-arid area, and it did pretty well. Just make sure to give it some extra water during the dry spells, and you should be good to go.

Just got few growing, but still tiny~ Their patterns are just fascinating.
I moved them into the hoop tunnel from bad frost (so far didn't happen yet, we still have 5-8 degree C here recently).

I am considering growing these fascinating plants too. Any recommendations for specific cultivars??
