Chinese Celery aka Kintsai Seeds

Chinese Celery - Heirloom Leafy Green Stem Vegetable Seeds
Apium graveolens var. secalinum
Listing is for 1 packet of minimum 25 seeds

The light green variety of Chinese celery delivers a distinct celery flavor and aroma, much like other Chinese celery types. Unlike regular celery, which is grown for its thick, ribbed stalks, Chinese celery features smaller, thinner stems and bushy, flavorful leaves. This open-pollinated variety thrives in temperate climates, offers mild frost tolerance, and is perfect for container gardening. Its decorative appearance and adaptability to cut-and-come-again harvesting make it a versatile addition to any garden. Compared to regular celery, Chinese celery has a more robust and concentrated flavor, making it ideal for seasoning dishes like stir-fries, soups, and stews, while regular celery’s milder flavor is often enjoyed raw or in salads. Chinese celery’s compact growth habit also makes it more suitable for small spaces or container growing.
