Celery Gold Seeds

Apio Oro celery seeds correspond to an open-pollinated celery variety that is fast-growing and has good health behavior. It produces light green to golden yellow foliage, slender stalks, and a mild, slightly sweet flavor. It is one of those kitchen essentials that yields much more when you have it fresh from your own garden.

Benefits

• Fast-growing and good disease resistance.
• Slender, tender stalks with a mild and pleasant flavor.
• You can harvest leaves and stalks in parts, without uprooting the plant.
• Attractive foliage, useful both in the garden and on the plate.
• Open-pollinated seed, to save from one season to the next.

How to use

Sow in seedbeds: the seed is very fine and needs light to germinate, so press it onto the substrate without covering it. Transplant to fertile soil rich in organic matter, with 20 to 30 cm between plants, in full sun or partial shade. Water consistently, because celery does not tolerate the substrate drying out. Harvest the outer stalks as needed or cut the entire plant from the base.
