Plants develop distinctive purplish foliage and swollen above-ground bulbs that are best harvested at approximately 2–2½ inches in diameter, when the texture is tender and the flavor is delicate. The bulbs have a mild turnip-cabbage character that works beautifully raw or cooked. Purple Vienna grows slightly larger and matures somewhat later than White Vienna, giving succession plantings a useful range of harvest times. Slice the bulbs thin for salads and crudités, or steam, sauté, roast, and stir-fry them for a versatile garden-to-table vegetable. This packet contains 500 non-GMO, heirloom seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(7, 74, 13);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination Rate: 85%. Test Date: 8\/25.
