A reliable, open pollinated purple kohlrabi available as certified organic seed. Azur Star's slightly flattened globes have vibrant purple skin, upright purple stems and a crisp white interior. Crunchy and sweet when eaten raw, try grating it for a fresh salad or slaw. Very good uniformity for an open pollinated variety.

Direct sow several times during the four to six weeks after the last frost date for a crop to mature starting in about 8 weeks. Sow again after mid-July to early August for fall and winter crops. Planting between mid-May and mid-July causes kohlrabi to mature in hot weather, resulting in inferior bulbs. In short season areas, start kohlrabi indoors in cell trays about 4 weeks before the last frost date and transplant out once day time temperatures are steadily above 10°C (50°F). Optimal soil temperature for germination: 10-30°C (50-85°F). Seeds should germinate in 7-10 days.

Sow seeds 5mm (¼”) deep with plants spaced 10-15cm (4-6″) apart in rows 30-45cm (12-18″) apart.
