- Species and varieties: Celery (Apium graveolens) is a marshland plant in the family Apiaceae that has been cultivated as a vegetable since antiquity. There are several varieties of celery, including Pascal celery, which is the most common type found in grocery stores, and Chinese celery, which has thinner stalks and a stronger flavor.
- Hybrid or heirloom: Celery seeds can be both hybrid and heirloom. Heirloom varieties are open-pollinated and have been passed down through generations, such as 'Tall Utah' and 'Golden Self-Blanching'. Hybrid varieties are bred for specific traits like disease resistance and uniformity, such as 'Conquistador' and 'Tango'.
- Pruning and training: Celery does not require extensive pruning, but removing any yellowing or damaged leaves can help maintain plant health. Blanching, or covering the stalks to protect them from sunlight, can be done to produce tender, pale stalks.
- Fertilization needs: Celery is a heavy feeder and benefits from regular fertilization. A balanced fertilizer with equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (such as 10-10-10) should be applied every 2-4 weeks. Organic options like compost or well-rotted manure can also be used to enrich the soil.
- Hardiness zones: Celery is best grown in USDA hardiness zones 2-10. It prefers a long, cool growing season and can tolerate light frost.
- Climate requirements: Celery requires a cool climate with temperatures between 55°F and 70°F (13°C to 21°C). It needs consistent moisture and thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. High temperatures can cause the plant to bolt and become bitter.
