| A quick growing kohlrabi with a tender bulb if harvested early. Less woody than the white vienna variety. The plant is worth growing because of it's beautiful color in the garden.

| Grows slower in my garden than other Kohlrabi. No disease or pest problems noticed until very late in the season when aphids can get after it. |

| I like this cultivar a little better than White Vienna. A shade larger and does not get woody quite as fast. Slightly more vigorous grower and hence more reliable. |
