Fothergill's Celery Green Sleeves Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Apium graveolens, a premium and reliable selection within the celery family.
• Almost Stringless: Produces high-quality, pale green stalks that are incredibly tender and virtually stringless, making them a pleasure to eat raw or cooked.
• Easy to Grow: A robust and forgiving variety that is significantly easier to cultivate than traditional self-blanching types, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced growers.
• Bolt & Stand Resistance: Specifically bred to be slow to bolt (go to seed early) and stands beautifully in the soil, allowing you a much wider and more relaxed harvesting window.
• Flavour & Texture: Delivers a highly satisfying, crisp crunch coupled with a refreshing, clean, and sweet celery flavour.
• Nutritional Value: A fantastic, low-calorie kitchen garden staple that is naturally high in dietary fibre and packed with essential hydration.

Care Instructions:

• Sowing & Starting: Start seeds early indoors in cell trays or pots. Press the fine seeds gently into moist compost, as they require plenty of light to trigger germination.
• Planting Position: Transplant out into their final positions after all danger of frost has passed. Choose a sunny, open spot with deep, highly fertile, and moisture-retentive soil.
• Watering: Celery is a marshland native; keep the plants copiously and consistently watered throughout the summer to ensure thick, juicy, and sweet-tasting stems.
