Kohlrabi Seeds

Grow garden-fresh crunch with kohlrabi seeds from David's Garden Seeds®. Choose Vienna Purple or Vienna White for crisp, mild flesh that works well fresh or lightly cooked. Kohlrabi's rounded edible portion is a swollen stem that develops above ground, not a root.

Explore Your Vienna Choices

• Vienna Purple: Adds purple exterior color to the vegetable bed while the peeled interior remains pale.
• Vienna White: Offers a pale green exterior and crisp, pale flesh.
• More than the swollen stem: Young, healthy leaves can also be harvested sparingly and prepared like other brassica greens. Leave enough foliage to support plant growth.

Plan for Cool-Season Growing

Kohlrabi generally develops its best eating quality in cool weather. Spring and fall can offer suitable planting windows, depending on local conditions. Time sowing so plants can develop before prolonged heat or severe cold. Flavor, tenderness and maturity vary with weather and care.

Planting Tips for Success

• Follow variety-specific directions: Check each listing for sowing depth, timing, spacing and expected maturity.
• Prepare fertile soil: Choose a sunny site with well-drained soil and incorporate finished compost as appropriate.
• Handle transplants carefully: If starting indoors, harden off seedlings and avoid leaving them crowded or root-bound before planting.
• Give stems room: Thin or transplant at the recommended spacing so swollen stems can develop without crowding.
• Water consistently: Maintain even moisture without waterlogging. Repeated drought stress can reduce eating quality.
• Feed thoughtfully: Follow soil-test results and fertilizer-label instructions rather than overfeeding.
• Watch for brassica pests: Inspect leaves regularly. Properly maintained insect netting can help protect young plants.
• Stagger suitable sowings: Plant small batches while the growing window remains favorable to spread out harvests.

Harvest While Tender

Check plants as they approach each variety's recommended harvest size. Do not assume a larger swollen stem will be more tender; delayed harvest can produce woody texture. Cut the stem near ground level with a clean tool. Remove leaves for separate use, refrigerate harvested produce promptly and wash thoroughly before preparing.

Ways to Enjoy Your Harvest

• Fresh slaw: Peel away the tough exterior and shred the tender interior with carrots or cabbage.
• Crisp snacks: Slice peeled harvested kohlrabi into sticks for dips.
• Roasted sides: Cut peeled pieces evenly, toss with oil and roast until tender.
• Light cooking: Steam or sauté sliced kohlrabi for a mild vegetable side.
• Leafy greens: Wash young leaves well, remove tough stems and cook to your preferred tenderness.

Serving suggestions refer to harvested vegetables, not planting seeds. Discard tough, damaged or unsuitable plant parts rather than treating the entire plant as ready to eat.
