How to Save White Vienna Kohlrabi Seeds
Kohlrabi will cross-pollinate with other members of the Brassica oleracea family, including cabbage, broccoli, kale, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts. To maintain seed purity, separate different B. oleracea varieties by at least 500 feet whenever possible.
Allow the kohlrabi plants to fully mature and produce seed stalks. Wait until the seed pods dry completely on the plant before harvesting.
Once dry, remove the seed pods and place them into a paper bag or container labeled with the variety name and harvest date. Store the seeds in a cool dry location until ready for planting. Properly stored kohlrabi seeds can remain viable for several years and provide future harvests of healthy productive plants.
