Kohl Rabi 'Purple' Heirloom Seeds

About this product:

In german, kohlrabi means “cabbage turnip,” referring to the fact that it is in the cabbage family but forms an edible turnip-like bulb just above the soil line. Not truly a bulb, it is an expanded stem, and looks like it house aliens that have flown it in from out of space. Nutritious and cold hardy, a must grow, though most germans would disagree. 

When to plant:

Zone 1: august - february

Zone 2: july - march

Zone 3: february - september

Zone 4: march - may
