Kohlrabi 'Quickstar' is a particularly attractive early variety, prized for its round, slightly flattened, light green, luminous and highly uniform bulbs. In the vegetable garden, it adds an original touch with its unique silhouette, both decorative and nutritious, which quickly draws attention among classic crops. Its tender, sweet and juicy flesh makes it a very pleasant vegetable to harvest young, when all its delicacy and crunch are at their best. Easy to grow, it is suitable for both beginner gardeners and productive vegetable garden enthusiasts looking for a fast and reliable crop. Its regular growth produces homogeneous harvests, which is particularly valuable for successive crops in spring or late summer. Planted in loose soil, rich in organic matter and kept moist, it develops a beautiful texture without becoming fibrous or woody. Its upright foliage also adds structure to the garden, while its varied uses in the kitchen make it a versatile and refreshing vegetable. Kohlrabi 'Quickstar' thus combines originality, earliness and taste quality in a simple, generous and very rewarding crop.
