Kohlrabi Seed

White Vienna Kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes) is an early-maturing variety known for its pale green, globe-shaped bulbs and tender, white flesh. This heirloom variety is perfect for adding a mild, cabbage-like flavor to your dishes, whether raw or cooked.

Growing Conditions:

• Climate: White Vienna Kohlrabi thrives in cooler weather, making it well-suited for South African climates during spring and autumn. Ideal temperatures range from 10°C to 24°C.
• Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8. Enrich the soil with organic compost or well-rotted manure before planting.
• Watering: Requires consistent moisture. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
• Planting: Sow seeds 1 cm deep and space plants about 15-20 cm apart. For continuous harvest, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks.

Care Tips:

• Fertilization: Apply a balanced organic fertilizer during the growing season to support healthy growth.
• Pests and Diseases: Watch for common pests like cabbage worms and flea beetles. Use organic pest control methods to manage infestations.
• Harvesting: Harvest when the bulbs are about 5-7.5 cm in diameter, typically 55-60 days after planting. The bulbs should be firm and smooth.
