Purple Vienna kohlrabi has a purple swollen stem with pale flesh.
A space where it can thrive
Grow as a cultivated garden crop in a bed or suitably sized container. The illustrated nursery pot is a presentation, not a recommendation for the mature plant’s root space.
Ask about availabilityAvailability, size, pot and price will be confirmed in store. Pictures illustrate the plant type.

Your care routine
Watering
Water evenly; long dry periods followed by heavy watering can spoil stem quality.
Soil & drainage
Fertile, well-drained soil that supports uninterrupted growth.
Temperature
Plan sowing for the crop’s preferred season. Protect young plants and containers from severe frost; local conditions affect timing.
Planting
Sow or transplant in cool weather and thin so the above-ground stems can expand.
Harvest
Cut the swollen stem while young and tender, commonly around 5–8 cm across for smaller types.
Through the seasons
Succession sow for tender stems rather than allowing every plant to become oversized and woody.
When your plant needs help
- Pick young tender stems instead of assuming every kohlrabi stays tender at Konan’s large size.
