Elevate your garden and your dining table with our Heirloom Chinese Celery (Xiao Qin Cai) seeds! Famous for their incredibly thin, hollow green stalks and stunning aromatic leaves, this sought-after Asian herb offers a remarkably sweet, intense celery flavor that famously transforms noodle soups, stir-fries, and traditional dishes.
These pure, completely untreated seeds are selected for their exceptionally high germination rates. Chinese celery is exceptionally vigorous and fast-growing compared to western celery, making it an incredibly rewarding crop to cultivate. It produces a dense, heavy harvest whether planted in a professional market garden, large patio containers, or a small homemade backyard bed.
Enjoy a continuous harvest in just a few short weeks and trust in the natural quality of our authentic seeds for a healthy garden-to-table lifestyle.
1. Starting Indoors Sow seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost date, surface sowing lightly as they require light to germinate.
2. Germination Maintain consistent moisture and a warm soil temperature of 70-75°F. Seeds usually germinate in 14-21 days.
3. Hardening Off Gradually introduce seedlings to outdoor conditions over 7 days after the danger of frost has entirely passed.
4. Transplanting Plant outdoors in full sun, spacing them 6-8 inches apart. Ensure night temperatures remain reliably above 50°F.
5. Care Water consistently at the base. Chinese celery requires constant deep watering for the best flavor and tender stalks.
