Product Details

Flavorful, 6" snow-white heads in just 70 to 80 days means 'Snowball Y' is successful in short-season areas. The leaves naturally curl nicely around the heads providing self-blanching and protection from sun scald. Mature heads hold well in the garden, so they don't all have to be picked at once.

    These are gorgeous, and I had so many sprouts that I had to give some away, from the thinned ones even. They continued growing when I put them in a different cell.

    Sadly the germination rate on your seeds if often very poor. I shop from time to time, hoping a can continue to support your company, but over the years, the quality of the seed has fallen.

    Good Luck,
