Celery Seeds (Open Pollinated)

About -

Elevate your garden with Richgrow Seeds Celery Open Pollinated Seeds, a non-GMO, heirloom variety (Apium graveolens), perfect for home gardeners and farmers seeking crisp, aromatic harvests at an unbeatable price! Known as Common Celery, this variety produces long, fibrous stalks, growing 45–60 cm tall, with glossy green leaves and a crisp, mildly peppery flavor, ideal for salads, soups, juicing, or as a savory garnish, ready to harvest in 90–120 days. Rich in vitamins A, C, K, folate, and minerals like potassium, celery supports hydration, heart health, and anti-inflammatory benefits, making it a nutritious kitchen staple. The upright, bushy plants are resistant to pests like aphids and diseases such as leaf blight, thriving in cool to mild climates, with optimal sowing in late summer to early fall (July–September) or early spring (February–March) across Pan-India, particularly in states like Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Maharashtra, as aligned with prior sowing discussions (April 10, 2025). Sow 2–3 seeds at a 0.2–0.5 cm depth in well-drained, fertile loamy soil (50% garden soil, 30% compost, 20% coco peat, pH 6.0–7.0) under partial sun to full sun (4–6 hours daily), spacing 15–20 cm apart in rows 45 cm wide; start seeds indoors 10–12 weeks before the last frost, as celery requires a long germination period, achieving 85% germination within 14–21 days at 15–25°C. Keep soil consistently moist with frequent light watering (0.5 liters per plant every 2 days), blanch stalks with soil or wraps for milder flavor, and fertilize with organic compost or fish emulsion every 2–3 weeks; use neem oil for pests like celery worms. Harvest stalks when 30–40 cm long and leaves when 15–20 cm, with good shelf life when refrigerated. Store unopened packets in a cool, dry place for up to 3 years. Available in Kitchen Garden Packet (KGP) (200–250 seeds), Standard Packet, Professional Pack (200–250 grams), or custom bulk orders, all in eco-friendly, resealable, moisture-proof, UV-protected packets with an 85% germination rate, designed for your sustainable vision at www.richgrowindustrialcorporation.com, reflecting your eco-friendly, customer-centric brand with nature-inspired packaging (green, brown, white). Seed quantity may vary by variety. Note: Harvest outer stalks to extend yield; consume fresh for best flavor.
