Notes

'Beas' kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea 'Beas') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and 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 ready to pick in 42 days. Bees and butterflies visit its white spring and summer flowers.

Pairs well with Bouquet dill, Genovese basil, and Lemon balm.
