Notes
'Kolibri' kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea 'Kolibri') 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 matures in 45 days. Bees and butterflies visit its purple and white flowers.
Pairs well with Potato, Genovese basil, and Sage.
