Kohlrabi 'Kordial' F1 is part of our organic seed selection for Quebec gardens. Early maturing bulbs with dense, crunchy hearts, resistant to cracking. High resistance to downy mildew and Fusarium Yellow. Intermediate resistance to black rot. Read the instructions on the packet before you start and keep the label to track the variety throughout the season. Prepare a clean, loose, and well-drained substrate, then moisten it before planting the seeds to prevent them from moving. Keep the seedling uniformly moist without leaving standing water, as excess moisture reduces aeration around young roots.

Kordial F1 Kohlrabi organic seeds (Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes) This early hybrid produces pale green swollen stems measuring 3 to 5 inches with a slightly flattened round shape. Dense, crisp flesh resists cracking when growth remains steady. Bejo also notes upright dark-green foliage and high resistance to Fusarium yellows. Gaia lists high resistance to downy mildew and Fusarium yellows plus intermediate resistance to black rot. The packet contains approximately 15 certified organic seeds for spring or autumn production. Its moderate size and firm texture suits both fresh snacks and a broad range of cooked dishes.

Start seed indoors four to six weeks before planting or direct sow for a spring or fall crop. Plant seed approximately 1.3 cm deep. Germination generally takes 3 to 10 days between 7 and 29°C, with an optimum near 26°C. Space plants approximately 10 cm apart and rows 30 to 45 cm apart. Swollen stems reach maturity about 53 days after planting. Do not allow plants to run short of water because uneven growth can make the texture more fibrous. Thin promptly so the remaining plants develop evenly without crowding.

Grow Kordial in full sun or light partial shade and fertile, cool, well-drained soil. It performs best in spring and autumn when temperatures are moderate. Harvest as soon as the swollen stem is clearly visible above the soil and measures approximately 3 to 5 inches while the flesh remains tender. Cut at the base, remove the leaves, and refrigerate kohlrabi for up to about three weeks. The crisp stem can be eaten raw, grated, or cut into sticks and is also suitable for roasting, sautéing, or adding to soups. Tender young leaves are edible as well.

Uses in the garden

Beetroot, Bush Bean, Celery, Cucumber, Lettuce, Fine Herbs, Onion, Potato, Thyme, Nasturtium. The packet contains 15 seeds. Beetroot, Bush Bean, Celery, Cucumber, Lettuce, Fine Herbs, Onion, Potato, Thyme, Nasturtium. Read the instructions on the packet before starting and keep the label to track the variety throughout the season. Prepare a clean, loose, well-drained substrate, then moisten it before placing the seeds to limit their movement. Keep the seedlings uniformly moist without leaving standing water, as excess moisture reduces aeration around the young roots. Place the seedlings in bright light as soon as they emerge and regularly rotate the containers to promote balanced growth. When several seedlings are competing for the same space, carefully thin them out to keep the most vigorous ones without disturbing their roots. Before outdoor planting, gradually acclimate the young plants to wind, sun, and temperature changes for several days. Respect the indicated spacing so that air circulates between the plants and each has sufficient light, water, and nutrients.

03 How long does germination take?

3 to 10 days (soaking) Read the instructions on the packet before you start and keep the label to track the variety throughout the season. Prepare a clean, loose, well-drained substrate, then moisten it before sowing the seeds to limit their movement. Keep the seedbed uniformly moist without allowing water to stagnate, as excess moisture reduces aeration around young roots. Place the seedlings in bright light as soon as they emerge and regularly rotate the containers to promote balanced growth. If several seedlings are competing for the same space, carefully thin them out to keep the strongest specimens without disturbing their roots.

05 When should we harvest?

Harvest when the stem is easily visible above the ground. Harvest while tender, otherwise the plant becomes woody. Read the instructions on the seed packet before starting and keep the label to track the variety throughout the season. Prepare a clean, loose, well-draining substrate, then moisten it before placing the seeds to limit their displacement. Keep the seedling uniformly moist without leaving standing water, as excess moisture reduces aeration around young roots. Place seedlings in bright light as soon as they emerge and regularly rotate containers to encourage balanced growth. When several seedlings compete for the same space, thin carefully to keep the most vigorous ones without disturbing their roots.
