Kohl Rabi - White Vienna (Seeds)

Description

Heirloom Vegetable. This rapidly growing member of the cabbage family produces a greenish-white enlarged stem with short tops and few leaves. Slow to bolt and early producing, White Vienna is best harvested when the stem reaches 5-7.5 cm (2-3″) in diameter. For best growth, irrigation is essential through dry periods. Flesh is white with a nutty flavour when eaten raw and a mild cabbage taste when cooked. Sow seed every two weeks from April through to early August. Like Purple Vienna Kohlrabi, White Vienna is a pre-1860 variety.

How to Grow

Sow seed directly outdoors anytime from late April to late July 1 cm (1/2″) deep and 2.5 cm (1″) apart. Space rows 30-45 cm (12-18″) apart. Thin emerging seedlings to 10 cm (4″) apart in the row.
