Kohlrabi ‘Purple Vienna’ (Brassica oleracea) A striking heritage variety producing vibrant purple, globe-shaped stems with crisp, white flesh. Fast-growing and remarkably versatile, it offers a mild, sweet flavor reminiscent of a cross between broccoli and apple. A beautiful and delicious addition to cool-season harvests.
Why you’ll love it:

Vibrant Garden Color: The deep purple stems and blue-green leaves add incredible visual interest to any garden bed.
