Purple Vienna Kohlrabi Heirloom Vegetable Seeds
Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes
Listing is for 1 packet of minimum 20 seeds
This is so much fun to grow. Harvest bulbs when they are 3 inches wide or about the side of a tennis ball. The bulbs have a purple skin but the interior is white. It has a similar flavor to cabbage and a similar crunchy texture to turnips. The leaves are edible like kale. I like to peel the skin and thinly shred to eat raw with dip or add on top of a salad.
We have a very small window to grow traditional brassicas in Florida. These crops bolt very easily when there is a hot day. Therefore, we grow brassicas during late fall, winter, and early spring. This can also be challenging because winter weather in Florida fluctuates so much. We have a cold day followed by a very warm day. Again, this triggers traditional brassicas to bolt. I find that if I have not harvested by March, then its too late.
Follow me on social media because I post a lot of information on how to grow the very same seeds available in my shop. Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok: jerrasgarden.

Orders are shipped in 1-3 business days excluding holidays or delays due to natural disasters like hurricanes.
Seeds are shipped in bubble mailers so they will not be pushed through USPS roller machines which can damage the seeds. I will not ship seeds in an envelope for this reason.
Seeds will be shipped with no planting instructions to keep seed costs low to the buyer. Germination and plant care information is included in the description. I encourage each gardener to research specifics on how to be successful growing them. I also have lots of information on my TikTok, Instagram and YouTube channel all under the account name jerrasgarden. I started this shop to share my love of certain seed varieties and spread the knowledge of gardening. Please contact me if you can't find information or have additional questions.
Orders with live plants are packed on Mondays and Thursdays (excluding holidays or delays because of natural disasters. Plants are shipped in boxes with packaging material to protect them while they are in transit.
No returns or refunds once shipped. I am not responsible for lost or damaged packages caused by USPS. Since there are so many factors that affect germination and growing success, no refunds or exchanges are allowed once seeds have shipped. These are the same seeds I use in my personal garden so I can attest to their viability. Seeds are fresh season to season.
