Species and varieties: Kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes) is a member of the Brassicaceae family, which also includes cabbage, broccoli, and kale. There are several varieties of kohlrabi, including 'Purple Vienna', 'White Vienna', and 'Gigante'. The 'Netherlands' variety is known for its robust growth and adaptability to cooler climates.
Hybrid or heirloom: Kohlrabi seeds can be either hybrid or heirloom. The 'Netherlands' variety is typically an heirloom, known for its consistent quality and traditional cultivation methods.
Pruning and training: Kohlrabi does not require extensive pruning or training. However, it is important to thin seedlings to about 6 inches apart to ensure adequate space for bulb development. Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to promote healthy growth.
Fertilization needs: Kohlrabi benefits from a balanced fertilizer applied at planting time. A 10-10-10 (N-P-K) fertilizer is recommended. Side-dress with compost or a nitrogen-rich fertilizer halfway through the growing season to support vigorous growth. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive leaf growth at the expense of the bulb.
Hardiness zones: Kohlrabi is suitable for USDA hardiness zones 3-10. It thrives in cooler temperatures and can tolerate light frosts, making it ideal for spring and fall planting.
Climate requirements: Kohlrabi prefers a cool climate with temperatures ranging between 60-75°F (15-24°C). It requires full sun to partial shade and well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.5. Consistent moisture is essential for optimal growth.
