Grow crisp, tender bulbs with this Purple & White Kohlrabi Seed Collection from Survival Garden Seeds. Featuring both White Vienna and Purple Vienna varieties, this pair offers reliably smooth, mild-flavored stems that form striking green or purple bulbs above the soil. Kohlrabi’s mild turnip-like flavor and crunchy, juicy texture make it versatile for fresh salads, roasting, grilling, and pickling. Hardy and productive in cool weather, these biennial vegetables add dependable nutrition to fall and spring gardens.

Colorful, Mild, and Surprisingly Versatile:

  • White Vienna produces smooth, pale-green globes with a tender interior.
  • Purple Vienna offers similar flavor with unique purple coloring along the bulbs and leaf stems.
  • Both varieties are part of the cabbage family and deliver gentle, kid-friendly flavor.
  • The edible bulbs and greens provide multiple ways to enjoy your harvest.

Why Customers Love the Purple & White Kohlrabi Collection:

  • Two complementary varieties for visual interest and balanced flavor
  • Mild, crisp texture ideal for raw or cooked dishes
  • Cold-hardy plants that thrive in fall, early spring, or mild winter conditions
  • Nutrient-rich cruciferous vegetables that support diverse, healthy meals
  • Fun, unusual appearance that engages kids and new gardeners

How to Grow:
Sow kohlrabi seeds in early spring or late summer for best results in cool weather. Plant in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. Space plants 6–8 inches apart to allow bulbs to form above the ground. Keep soil consistently moist for tender, uniform growth. Harvest bulbs when they reach 2–3 inches in diameter for the best texture and flavor. Young leaves can also be harvested for cooking or fresh use.

Harvest & Use:
Enjoy bulbs raw in salads and slaws, slice for snacking, or cook by roasting, grilling, or sautéing. Kohlrabi also pickles well for long-term storage. Greens can be steamed, stirred into soups, or used like other leafy brassicas.

Kohlrabi seed collection with white and purple kohlrabi

Cool Weather Nutrition

Cold hardy kohlrabi is an excellent vegetable to add to your outdoor garden during cool weather to add some flavor and nutrition in the off-season.

Like all cruciferous veggies, these cole crops are extremely nutritious.

They are delicious to eat fresh, raw, grilled, or even pickled for long-term food storage.

Cooked kohlrabi

Purple & White Kohlrabi

The stunning purple or white bulbs and green leaf tops of these kohlrabi varieties are edible and have a mild turnip-like flavor. Although they look like roots, the bulb of the plant is actually the stem and grows above the ground.  Kids love helping grow this plant because of its unique appearance. 

Root crops are ideal for adapting to sudden drops in temperature, and are hardy to frost. They are also quite easy to start from seed - just give them plenty of room to develop and loose, well-drained soil.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.

You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

In what zones can I grow your seeds?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
