About Organic Kintsai Chinese Dark Green Celery Seeds
Good variety for people tired of fussy celery plants. Great to grow for Asian cooking and microgreens. The plants are more heat and cold tolerant than standard varieties. The stalks and leaves are pencil thin, dark green and qualify for superfood status. 30 days/microgreens, 60-90 days/full-size. Chinese celery is a smaller version of the celery in Western markets, but its flavor is quite a bit stronger. The crisp, hollow stems of some varieties are light green, while others can be dark green or white. The leaves are typically jagged on the edges. Indispensable to many Asian soups or stews, Chinese celery is one of the most commonly grown vegetables in China. The entire plant is used, either fresh or dried. Add leaves and stalks to flavor vegetable or meat soups, or use them in a stir-fry. In China, celery is sometimes served as a dish by itself, stir-fried with a little soy sauce and sugar. HOW TO GROW: Sow seeds indoors 1/8" deep. Plant out just before the last frost. Celery plants need a lot of moisture and thrive in the cooler temperatures of spring and fall. Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Seeds need light to germinate so cover with a thin layer of soil. Sow in spring/summer after last frost or in late summer/early fall in mild areas. Optimum growing temperatures are 60-70F. Grow in partial shade in hot areas. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Harvest leaves and young stems when plant is at any stage. Maturity, adaptability and disease tolerance may differ under your specific climate and/or growing conditions. Keep moist, not letting the seeds dry out between watering. *** **SOIL Temperature for Germination: 65-70F **Spacing: 8-10" apart **Hardiness: Zones 4-10 **Sun Requirement: Full Sun/Partial Shade **Days to Germination: 14-20 **Germination Rate: 95%
