description

Organic 'Violet hâtif de Vienne' kohlrabi is an early and elegant variety that adds a touch of vibrant color to the vegetable garden with its beautiful, deep violet, round bulbs. Beneath this intense skin, Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes conceals pale green, tender, and crisp flesh with a mild, slightly sweet flavor, highly prized in cooking. Its rapid growth makes it an excellent choice for gardeners eager to harvest an original vegetable early, which is as decorative as it is tasty. In the garden, its compact silhouette easily fits into small beds, successive crops, or intensive vegetable patches, where it adds relief and diversity. Raw, it reveals all its freshness in salads and crudités, while cooked, it lends itself wonderfully to soups, stir-fries, and marinades. Easy to grow in well-drained soil and under sunny exposure, it quickly produces firm and regular bulbs when harvested young. Its simple cultivation and beautiful appearance make it a highly appreciated variety by amateur gardeners and enthusiasts of heirloom vegetables alike. It is a productive, colorful, and versatile kohlrabi, perfect for enriching the vegetable garden with flavor, texture, and earliness.
