What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Purple Vienna Kohlrabi Seeds produce eye-catching, deep purple globes with crisp, tender flesh and a mild, slightly sweet, turnip-like flavor. This heirloom kohlrabi variety is a member of the cabbage family and offers excellent nutrition along with an approachable taste that appeals to both kids and adults.

Both the colorful bulb and the leafy green tops are edible, making Purple Vienna a versatile and productive garden crop. The vibrant exterior holds its color in the garden and adds visual interest to harvest baskets, while the interior remains pale and tender. Enjoy it fresh in salads and slaws, lightly cooked, or pickled for storage.

Colorful, Mild, and Nutritious:

  • Bright purple bulbs with crisp, tender texture
  • Mild turnip-like flavor suitable for fresh or cooked dishes
  • Edible bulbs and leafy greens
  • Nutritious cruciferous vegetable

Why Customers Love Purple Vienna Kohlrabi:

How to Use / How to Grow:
Sow Purple Vienna kohlrabi seeds in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest. Plant in full sun to partial shade in fertile, well-drained soil. Keep soil evenly moist to support smooth, tender bulb development.

Harvest bulbs while they are young for the best flavor and texture. Regular harvesting prevents woody growth and keeps plants productive.
