Planting & Care
Sow Purple Vienna Kohlrabi seeds directly in the garden about 4 weeks before the last frost date for a spring crop, or in late summer for a fall harvest. Plant seeds ¼ to ½ inch deep and keep the soil evenly moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Thin seedlings to stand 6-9 inches apart to allow proper bulb development.
Kohlrabi prefers consistent moisture and benefits from a layer of mulch to keep the soil cool and prevent drying out. Harvest when the bulbs are 2-3 inches in diameter for the best texture and flavor; larger bulbs may become woody. With minimal care, you'll enjoy a bountiful harvest of this unique and delicious vegetable.
