Description

This vegetable is difficult to grow and can be a challenge to even the most seasoned gardener. It is prone to attack from several pests and diseases. It produces finely divided leaves, in late summer flowers are produced in umbels. Celery is commonly grown in trenches which are deeply dug and prepared with a layer of rotted manure or compost at the bottom. Seeds are usually sown indoors under glass and set out in spring and early summer. Celery plants require a regular feeding and watering during the growing season. Self-blanching varieties require much less work, but are not as flavourful as trench-grown plants which must be carefully wrapped with newspaper and tied, but not tightly. Soil is then mounded up until just the leaf tops show. Harvesting occurs in the late summer in mild regions and early autumn elsewhere.

This variety has a long stem its crisp with good flavour.
