I’ve grown three varieties of kohlrabi- early white Vienna, purple Vienna, and Konan. Konan has been by far the best in my small (125 ft2) garden. Compared to the others, Konan is a more compact plant (~16” spread), is much more consistent (nearly 0 culls) and produced the highest quality “bulbs” that are extremely tender even at a fully mature size.
