Apium graveolens

Variety originated in China

For an authentic and delicate touch to your Asian-inspired cuisine, look no further than Chinese Tianjin Celery seeds. Smaller and more refined than standard celery, this hybrid variety produces thin, crisp stems and medium green leaves that add a unique flavour and aroma to stir-fries, soups, and stews. This plant matures in just 60 days, providing a quick harvest of a high-quality, specialty ingredient.

What you need to know to Plant & Grow:

Chinese Tianjin Celery grows vigorously in cool weather.

Planting: Start seeds indoors in a sterile medium 4-6 weeks before plant-out time, or direct sow seed in mid-spring as long as the weather is cool (10-15°C). Sow seeds 3 mm deep and 12.5 mm apart.

Care: Thin seedlings to a final spacing of 20 cm, with 50 cm between rows. Keep the soil well-watered for best growth. Some afternoon shade is beneficial in warm summer weather to prevent bolting.
