Ideal methods are also shown in the source:
Cauliflower is a cool-season vegetable and is more difficult to grow than other members of the cabbage family. Cauliflower is best started from transplants for both spring and fall crops. Do not transplant sooner than 2 to 3 weeks before the average frost-free date in the spring. Cauliflower is more sensitive to the cold than its cabbage-family relatives.
The optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 80°F., however, cauliflower will germinate at temperatures as low as 50°F.
Cauliflower grows best during sunny days with air temperatures of 70°F. If temperatures are above 80°F. during curd formation, leaves may form in the head, it may become rough in texture, or have a purple or green coloration.

Cool as mentioned. To make the head white you have to tie the leaves up over the head, or you will have brown cauliflower, if, I remember this correct.
