The kohlrabi variety 'Blauer Delikatess' is a medium-early variety for early summer and summer. It produces mid-sized, flat and round tubers with beautiful, purple colour and upright foliage and is resistant to the bursting of the tubers. It, however, shouldn't be planted too early as this variety is sensitive.

Blue or purple kohlrabi indeed doesn't distinguish principally from the well-known, light green varieties in taste but is especially well suited for outdoor cultivation and, like that, receives its strong flavour. The dark colour makes it unattractive to many classic predators.
