About Kolibri
Kolibri is a purple hybrid kohlrabi with smooth, uniform bulbs and crisp, tender flesh. It is grown for attractive color and reliable quality, with better uniformity than many old open-pollinated purple types.
Growing Kolibri Kohlrabi
Kolibri is a strong choice for spring or fall, and even moisture helps keep bulbs smooth and juicy. Harvest when bulbs are about tennis-ball size or smaller, before the skin thickens and the base gets woody.
