SCARBOROUGH SEEDS Kohlrabi Early White Vienna 500 Seeds

55-60 days. Non-GMO Early White Vienna seeds produce kohlrabi with light green bulbs. The flavor is mild, resembling the taste of a turnip. Kohlrabi can be grown in zones 3 to 9. This variety is mature in 55 days, making this an earlier option than the Purple Vienna Kohlrabi.

Start by sowing the non-GMO seeds directly outdoors. The Early White Vienna seeds will thrive in well drained soil with organic matter and a pH level between 6.5 and 7. Plant the seeds half an inch deep, with four to six inches between plants. Allow a space of eighteen to thirty six inches between rows. While growing, the Early White Vienna crops will need one to two inches of water each week. Kohlrabi is ready to be harvested when the stems have grown to be two to three inches in diameter.

Early White Vienna Kohlrabi, (Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes) has a nickname of Petra. Very similar to cabbage, this variety is much sweeter and creamier. The bulb is a pale green/white color, the stems grow big with large leaves, which can be a replacement for spinach. It likes cooler climates but 

will grow in most zones. It needs full sun, but too much heat can dry them out. This annual is an early variety and is ready before Purple Vienna Kohlrabi. Does not require much water. Soil needs to be kept moist, but not over saturated. Weeds around Kohlrabi need to be kept under control, as they require a lot from the soil to grow properly. As it prefers the cold, gardeners in warmer zones, where there is no frost should plant in the fall for a spring harvest. Kohlrabi is great for cooking. It can be added fresh to salads, but the root needs to be peeled. Delicious baked, blanched, or pickled.
