The Early Violet kohlrabi of Vienna is an old variety renowned for its earliness and the delicate texture of its flesh. Its spherical bulb, a luminous purple on the outside, encloses a white flesh that is juicy and delicately sweet when harvested young.

The plant develops upright and elegant foliage, borne on slender stems that give the kohlrabi a light and well-structured appearance. This variety is particularly valued for its consistency and its ability to quickly produce tender kohlrabi that does not become fibrous if harvested at the right time.

In the garden, the Early Violet of Vienna thrives in cool to temperate conditions. It prefers rich, well-loosened soil that is kept consistently moist. Its rapid growth allows for staggered sowings, providing continuous harvests for much of the season.
