About Early White Vienna
Early White Vienna is a classic heirloom kohlrabi with pale green bulbs, crisp white flesh, and a mild, sweet flavor. It matures quickly and is best known as an early table type rather than a giant storage kohlrabi.
Growing Early White Vienna Kohlrabi
Harvest promptly when bulbs are around 2 to 3 inches across, because quality drops if they stand too long in hot weather. A spring or fall crop usually gives the sweetest flesh, and row cover helps protect young plants from cabbage pests.
