Early White Vienna Kohlrabi
Growing Early White Vienna Kohlrabi
‘Early White Vienna’ is a classic open-pollinated kohlrabi variety prized for its early maturity, tender texture, and mild flavor. Sometimes called a cabbage-turnip, it produces smooth, light green bulbs with creamy white flesh that stays crisp and tender when harvested at the right size. The flavor is mild, slightly sweet, and pleasantly cabbage-like.
Sow ‘Early White 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 55 days, the bulbs are best picked while they are still young, smooth, and tender.
Fresh, mild, and versatile, ‘Early White Vienna’ is excellent for slicing raw into salads and slaws, roasting, sautéing, steaming, or freezing for later use.
