Purple Vienna Kohlrabi Heirloom Seeds Pack of 30

This cool-season cole crop produces a turnip-flavored swollen stem in as little as 6 weeks. In addition you can tuck in transplants or sow seeds anywhere space becomes available in summer. The bizarre alien-from-outer-space appearance makes it an eye-stopper in ornamental plantings, too.
The swollen stem looks like a turnip with reddish/purple cabbage leaves, usually purple or greenish white skin.
Kohlrabi(White Vienna) (German turnip) (Brassica oleracea Gongylodes group) (Olkopi in Assamese and Bengali) is a perennial vegetable, and is a low, stout cultivar of cabbage. Kohlrabi can be eaten raw as well as cooked.
Obviously Kohlrabi has made an impact on gardeners and chefs alike as it has stood the test of time. Kohlrabi is actually a member of the cabbage family, but the edible part is actually an enlarged stem. Best harvested when the stem reaches 2-3 inches. Many people use the young leaves in salads or steamed.

Planting/Growing Tips:
This variety has a light-green skinned exterior, white interior, and is a bit smaller than the Purple Vienna Kohlrabi, but with a slightly faster growth rate. Plant kohlrabi in rich soil about 1/4 inch deep. They love moisture once established and will benefit from an ample side dressing of compost. Continue to sow every 2-3 weeks for a continuous crop.
Maintenance and care:
Plants are sensitive to cold. Brief exposure to freezing temperatures can cause plants to bolt. A week of temperatures below 18°C can also induce flowering.

For fall harvest, transplant or direct-seed into garden in summer as space becomes available.
