Notes
'Azur Star' kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea 'Azur Star') is a vegetable for the food garden and for borders. It is typically grown as an annual. Few crops handle cold as well, and with a little winter protection it grows on through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is an open-pollinated purple kohlrabi with an erect habit. Bees and butterflies visit its flowers.
Pairs well with Bouquet dill, Green Zebra tomato, Berggarten sage, and Creeping thyme.
