Description

Celery ‘Tendercrisp’ grows up to 60cm. The thick stems are stringless, with a crunchy texture and mild, sweet flavour in the right conditions. Flavour intensifies in tougher growing conditions.
Celery plants need lots of water. They become bitter if the soil is not kept moist enough. They can be grown in full sun to part shade. Afternoon shade is recommended in warm weather. Celery can be grown in containers and wicking beds.
Celery is a biennial plant which means that it produces flowers and seeds in the second year. Allow the flowers to turn brown and the seeds to form before removing from the plant. Harvesting is easiest if the whole flowering head and stems are placed in a paper bag upside-down.
