Celery Seeds, Chinese White
Description
(Apium graveolens) A delicate, delicious, and easy-to-grow Chinese variety with snow-white stalks. White celery has been cultivated in the Chinese town of Liyang for over 800 years. Its stems are long, slender, and hollow, with a strong celery flavor, ideal for Asian soups and stews, but equally suitable for mirepoix and other recipes calling for celery.
Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Chinese White celery thrives in well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter, with an optimal soil pH between 6.0 and 6.8. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged, as this celery variety requires regular and deep watering. Mulching can help retain soil moisture and suppress weed growth. Chinese White celery prefers full sun but can tolerate some shade, particularly during the hottest part of the day​.
When to Grow
Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date in your area. For cooler climates, planting in late spring or early summer is ideal, while in warmer climates, early spring or fall planting is recommended. Once the seedlings have at least two sets of true leaves, they can be transplanted outdoors when the night temperatures consistently stay above 50 F​.
How to Sow and Plant
Sow Chinese White celery seeds about 1/8 inch deep in seed trays or pots filled with a quality seed starting mix. Maintain a temperature of around 70-75 F for optimal germination. Once the seedlings are established, thin them to ensure proper spacing. Before transplanting, harden off the seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions. Prepare the garden bed by incorporating compost or well-rotted manure to enrich the soil and plant the seedlings about 10 inches apart.. Mulching around the plants helps conserve moisture and control weeds.
How to Grow
Regularly water the plants deeply, especially during hot and dry spells, and avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of foliar diseases. Apply a balanced fertilizer every four weeks to promote healthy growth, but avoid excessive nitrogen, which can lead to lush foliage at the expense of flavor. Pruning yellow or damaged leaves helps redirect the plant's energy towards producing fresh foliage, and thinning ensures adequate spacing for healthy air circulation​​.
How to Save
Celery and celeriac are insect pollinated and should be isolated by 1 mile from each other to ensure seed purity.
Both plants are biennial and must either be dug and stored or be left in the ground to overwinter and flower the following spring.
Harvest the seeds when they have completely dried on the plant.
When stored properly, celery and celeriac seeds will last for 5 years or more.
FAQ
Can Chinese White celery tolerate frost?
While it can handle cooler temperatures, protect plants with frost cloths during cold snaps.
Can I grow Chinese White celery in containers?
Yes, it can be successfully grown in containers with good drainage. Ensure the containers are placed in a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily​.
What pests and diseases can affect Chinese White celery?
Common pests include aphids, cabbage worms, and downy mildew. Regularly inspect the plants for signs of pests or diseases, and use organic pest control methods such as neem oil or insecticidal soap. For diseases, applying fungicides or practicing crop rotation can help prevent outbreaks​​.
