Seed Details:
Low in calories and high in flavour, celery is used in soups & stews for flavouring roasts. A crispy addition to any salad or other vegetable dishes. Prefers rich, well-drained, evenly moist soil.
Instructions:
Direct seed 2 mm deep. We suggest to use 3 or 4 seeds per pot or hole and thin out to the strongest plant. Keep well water for best results.
History:
The Latin name Apium was derived from a prehistoric Indo-European word for water. Celery grows best with an abundance of water and has a preference for a moist location with its history of growing in salt marshes and wet soils.
Historic Uses:
Known for its use in pharmacology to effectively relieve gas pains. A 17th-century herbalist Nichols Culpeper proved that the leaves when eaten in the Spring help to purify the blood.
