Seed Details
Delicious and colourful addition to the average vegetable garden or dinner plate, because of its striking colour. Great in soups, salads and stir-fry or just on its own as a snack or garnish.
Instructions
Direct seed 2 mm deep. Red Celery is heavy on water and nutrients but worth the effort. Store-bought celery tastes nothing like that which you grow yourself. Use plenty of compost and mulch around the plants to retain moisture.
