Celery – Cutting Leaf
$3.99
Cutting leaf celery, also called Chinese celery or leaf celery, is a plant appreciated for its generous and very aromatic foliage, and its fine and tender stalks. Unlike stalked celery, which is mainly eaten as a stalk, cut celery is used as a fine herb to flavour recipes. It can be cut as needed during the season. It grows well in pots or window boxes.

Growing tips
Conditions of germination:
- depth of sowing: 2 mm
- optimal temperatures of germination: 15 to 24 ºC
- time for germination: 14 to 21 days
When to sow:
- indoor sowing 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost date in your area
Sowing technique: in pocket
Inside the same hole, sow 3 to 5 seeds spaced 1 to 2 cm apart; when the seeds have germinated and the seedlings have reached a height of 5 cm, keep all the plants if space is available or keep only the best plants. Transplant into individual containers while waiting for transplanting in the garden.
Transplant outdoors:
- When all risk of frost is removed and the air is warm (10ºC and above).
Distance in the garden:
- between plants: 25-30 cm
- between rows: 45 cm
Height of the plants: 40 cm
Soil: well drained, humid, rich
Exposure: full sun
Maturation (from transplanting): 80 days
Specificities: Like celery and celeriac, cutting celery is slow to germinate and grow. The outer leaves can be harvested while they are young shoots, between the 30th and 50th day from transplanting. For simultaneous harvesting of stems at the base of the plant (leave 1/4 of the plant intact at the base for the next harvest) or for mature leaves on stems about 30-45 cm tall, allow 80 days (or enough time for the plant to become well established and able to produce again).
