Murasaki, which means purple in Japanese, is a new addition to the Fioretto long-stemmed cauliflower series (fiore is the Italian word for flower). A culinary and visual delight, its vibrant purple florets and long, tender stems offer a sweet, mild flavor and are easy to harvest. This heat-tolerant variety maintains its striking color through various cooking methods, transforming to fuchsia hues when mixed with vinegar and to a rich golden brown when sautéed or roasted. Enjoy it raw as a colorful crudité. Murasaki’s compact habit, early maturity, and excellent field holding make it a rewarding choice for home gardeners.
