Celery is a fun-to-grow vegetable for the home garden. If you've been told that it can't be grown in your climate, we'd encourage you to challenge conventional wisdom and give it a try. We learned (after 15 years of toeing the line) that, at least where we live, this just isn't the case. So, get those neighbors talking, and at the same time, liberate yourself from the guilt that comes from seeing that bag of limp, partially used celery in your fridge. Grow a few plants yourself and harvest just what you need when you need it, all season long. No guilt required! We offer a diverse selection of heirloom celery seeds, and for those still nervous to jump in, we even have celeriac, which is known to be a little more grower friendly. Check them out today and find something perfect for your next garden.
