CELERY - Apium Graveolens - 50 Premium Non-Gmo Seeds
Celery Green Sleeves: This easy green stemmed variety is crunchy, full of flavour and easy to grow. Celery is high in fibre, calcium, folate and vitamin K and rich in plant compounds with anti-inflammatory properties. Celery is great for soups, stews, risottos and salads.
Sow & Grow: Sow seeds 0.5 cm deep indoors in a cell tray or small pots of compost. Water well and keep moist in a cool spot with an ideal temperature of 15-20 °C. Seedlings will appear after around 14-21 days. Transplant to larger pots, 5 cm apart when plants are large enough to handle. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions and avoid frost. Plant out 25 cm apart, allowing 30 cm between rows.
Sow Indoors: March - May; Flowers/Harvest: August - November
