I used to grow a lot of it, and in my area in 5b, it was only marginally successful in the spring due to the fast onset of warmer temps. But in the fall, it was amazing! Snow Crown and Snow King were the varieties that I grew. I don't think that Snow King is still around, but I believe Snow Crown is still popular. Needs to be tied, although less demanding of it in the fall. I would routinely get 4+ lb. heads of SC, and even a few 6+lb. of the Snow King in October harvests. Transplanted them in early to mid-August, IIRC. Never had too many issues with bugs/worms. Tried a couple in my EarthBoxes, but that was a folly -- little tiny heads. Good luck!
