Kohlarbi-Purple Vienna

Brassica oleracea var

The Leaves and globes are purplish. Globes have a light turnip-cabbage taste, and the leaves are eaten like kale. The leaves are both colorful and edible, and the tops are thin. Simply regard them as if they were kale. Plants attain a height of 18" and have globes that float from the surface of the soil. When the bulbs are the size of tennis balls, harvest them.   Of course they will get bigger, but I don't like the taste. Before slicing, peel and scrape both rough and woody bits with a peeler.  My favorite way to eat it, is sliced thin, raw, with roasted red pepper and garlic hummus.

  • “My live plants were packed like they belonged in Ft Knox. 😂 They really were packed beautifully. Only one plant, a bee balm, is questionable but signs that it will recover are happening. All in all I am thrilled with my plants and seeds. Some of my coreopsis have already sprouted!”

  • “I’ve ordered seeds from Whitwam Organics 3 or 4 times now. I love the simple packaging, clear planting guidelines, and variety they offer. Great germination rates!! The bare root plants I’ve ordered have come healthy, so healthy that the wild rabbits always approve of my menu upgrades! 😂🐰”
