Its remarkable geometric form is a natural example of fractal-like growth, with each pointed floret echoing the shape of the larger head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs impressive on the plate as it is in the garden, Romanesco has an excellent flavour and texture, often described as sweeter and nuttier than conventional cauliflower, with the tenderness of broccoli when properly cooked. The heads can be steamed, roasted, sautéed or broken into individual florets for a spectacular addition to salads and vegetable dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRomanesco performs particularly well in cooler conditions and requires a reasonably long, steady growing season to develop its distinctive heads. Plants prefer full sun, fertile soil, consistent moisture and protection from prolonged heat. Maturity is approximately 85–110 days, depending on growing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 90 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Autumn to winter in cooler locations\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Late summer to autumn\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Late summer to autumn and late winter to spring\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Spring to early summer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow directly or raise in trays, approximately 5–10 mm deep.
