Kohlrabi - Delikates Blauer - Striking beds and versatile harvest - Fresh Seeds
The Delikates Blauer kohlrabi is a valued, medium-late variety distinguished by its attractive, intensely purple bulbs and high yield quality. The flesh is pale, delicate, juicy, and crunchy, offering a mild taste with a subtle, slightly spicy note. Consequently, this kohlrabi is excellent for consumption both raw and after cooking, maintaining its good structure and flavour qualities. This variety is characterised by stable growth and good tolerance to cooler conditions, including minor frosts. The bulbs are resistant to becoming woody and retain firmness for a long time after harvest, facilitating storage and use. Delikates Blauer is a proven choice for amateur and home cultivation, recommended for gardeners seeking a variety that combines aesthetic appearance, good taste, and reliability in cultivation.
Sowing depth
Sow the seeds of Delikates Blauer kohlrabi at a depth of 0.5-1 cm. These conditions favour even emergence and the healthy development of young plants. Sowing too deep may hinder germination, so it is worth ensuring precision during this process.
Sowing time for direct sowing
Sowing directly into the ground is performed in April, as well as in June or July, depending on the planned harvest date. Early sowing ensures the first delicate bulbs in summer, whereas later sowing allows you to enjoy fresh yields in autumn when other vegetables are finishing their season.
Sowing time under covers
Sow seeds under covers in March and April. This allows for obtaining strong seedlings that can be transplanted into the ground earlier. Thanks to this method, harvests will be earlier and more abundant, even during a cooler spring.
Planting time
Transfer the seedlings to their permanent position from April to May. At this time, the plants are already well-rooted and resistant to early cold spells. Planting during this period guarantees a rapid increase in bulb size and even development of the entire crop.
Spacing
During planting, it is worth maintaining a spacing of 30 x 30 cm. Such a distance provides each plant with adequate space, which favours the formation of magnificent, spherical bulbs of exceptional quality. Sowing too densely may cause deformations or result in smaller yields.
Harvest time
Harvests of Delikates Blauer kohlrabi take place from June until October. With the first sowings, delicate bulbs appear as early as the beginning of summer, while later plantings allow for fresh vegetables throughout the autumn. The plants are resistant to cracking and retain excellent flavour for a long time, so they can be harvested successively as needed.
Cultivation
This kohlrabi grows best in fertile, humus-rich, moderately moist, and permeable soil. It requires a sunny position but also tolerates light shade well. Regular watering and organic fertilisation allow for obtaining perfectly juicy bulbs with a delicate, full flavour. This variety is resistant to cold and works perfectly in both spring and autumn cultivation. It is an exceptionally rewarding vegetable to care for, and even less experienced gardeners will easily achieve satisfactory results.
