Product description
Giant Kohlrabi Seeds
Giant Kohlrabi is a productive vegetable grown for its large, swollen stem, crisp texture, and mild, slightly sweet flavor.

Depending on the variety, the swollen stems can grow considerably larger than those of standard kohlrabi while remaining tender when grown and harvested appropriately. Choose fertile soil, consistent moisture, and suitable cool-weather conditions to encourage healthy growth.

Step 4: Thin and Maintain Seedlings
Once seedlings are established, thin them according to the mature size of the variety. Larger-growing cultivars need more room to develop their swollen stems.

Step 5: Water Consistently
Maintain even soil moisture as the stems enlarge. Irregular watering can contribute to poor texture, cracking, or woody growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Discover helpful information about giant kohlrabi size, growing conditions, and harvesting.
How large can Giant Kohlrabi grow?
The size of Giant Kohlrabi depends on the cultivar. Certain giant varieties, such as Gigante and Superschmelz, can develop exceptionally large swollen stems while retaining good texture under suitable growing conditions. Check the variety description for its expected mature size and recommended harvest stage.
Why is my Giant Kohlrabi not forming a large bulb?
Kohlrabi may develop undersized swollen stems when plants are crowded, soil fertility is inadequate, moisture is inconsistent, or temperatures are too warm. Provide suitable spacing, fertile soil, regular watering, and cool growing conditions to encourage better stem development.
When should Giant Kohlrabi be harvested to keep it tender?
Harvest according to the recommended size and maturity period of your specific cultivar. Many standard kohlrabi varieties are best harvested while relatively small, whereas selected giant varieties can remain tender at larger sizes. Avoid delaying harvest beyond the variety's recommended stage, and maintain consistent moisture throughout growth.
