A self-blanching variety with beautiful apple-green, smooth stems with good flavour and texture for that all important celery crunch. Good bolting resistance and stands well during hot weather for reliable crops.
Sow mid March to April under glass for transplanting outdoors, thinly in seedtrays or pots of good seed compost at 15-20 (59-68F). Sow on the surface of the firmed compost and cover with a very fine layer of compost or vermiculite.
Prefers moist, fertile, well-drained soil. Harvest July onwards until heavy frosts.
Celery and Celeriac are high in fibre but low in calories. They are a good source of potassium and have long been suggested as a way of lowering blood pressure.
