Cauliflower – Snowball (Organic)
£2.30 Add to basketCauliflower – Snowball (Organic)
A fantastic and versatile heritage cauliflower suited for all growing seasons. Snowball cauliflower was bred in the 1890s in America, and it has certainly stood the test of time. It produces heads of up to 15cm diameter ready 65-70 days from sowing. It has a mild flavour perfect for cooking but also delicious raw.
The plants are smaller than some cauliflowers and so can be planted closer together. We particularly love this variety due to its flexibility.

Chilli – Adam’s Sweet and Hot (Organic) ***NEW FOR 2026***
£1.95 Add to basketChilli – Adam’s Sweet and Hot (Organic) ***NEW FOR 2026***
Remarkable chilli/pepper variety of sweet flavour with a fruity heat. Discovered by Adam Alexander in a market in Donetsk, Ukraine in 1989, this sweet and gently spiced pepper has been grown in South Wales ever since with plants selected for earliness and flavour. The fruits are slightly ribbed, flattened, and about the size of an apple. When eaten fresh they are exceptionally sweet, crunchy, and full of flavour, with a subtle heat towards the top of the fruit that makes them per definition a chilli, although we think of it more like a pepper.
Plants are short, stocky, and very productive, with red fruits that hold well once ripe. They can be grown outdoors in a sunny spot or under cover.
Firm favourite across the Vital Seeds team and number one winner of our 2023 pepper and chilli trials.
