Growing Information
Growing Purple Vienna Kohlrabi
‘Purple Vienna’ is a colorful heirloom kohlrabi prized for its striking deep purple skin, crisp white flesh, and mild, sweet flavor. The globe-shaped bulbs offer a tender texture and a pleasantly cabbage-like taste, making them a standout in both the garden and the kitchen. For the best flavor and texture, harvest the bulbs when they reach about 2 to 2½ inches in diameter and weigh around 1 pound.
Sow ‘Purple Vienna’ directly in the garden about ¼ inch deep. Space plants about 18 inches apart and grow in full sun. This cold-tolerant variety performs especially well in cool-season gardens and is also a great choice for containers.
Ready to harvest in about 60 days, the bulbs are best picked once they reach their mature size while the flesh is still crisp and tender.
Mild, sweet, and versatile, ‘Purple Vienna’ is excellent for fresh eating, roasting, sautéing, steaming, and freezing for later use.
