Hudson Valley Seed Co.
Purple Vienna Kohlrabi
Brassica oleracea
Certified Organic
Microgreens Suitable
Raw, cooked, diced, fried, stewed, julienned, fresh from the garden, or stored for winter, this inter-planetary looking cole crop should be a more familiar sight in American gardens (not just in Roswell). This variety has a lovely purple hued skin and light green interior, giving it the luminescence of a flying saucer.
This pretty cross produces an enlarged stem that's turnip shaped and tastes like a sweeter broccoli. Great raw and cooked and best grown in spring and fall.

Growing instructions
Direct sow 3 weeks before last frost, or start indoors 6 weeks before frost and then transplant 3-4 weeks later. Purple Vienna Kohlrabi appreciates fertile soil with steady moisture. Best harvested when bulbs are about 3" in diameter; save young leaves for raw eating or steaming. This variety is not a giant type; must be harvested at no larger than 4" diameter to avoid woody flesh.
