What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Grow a flavorful, versatile kitchen staple with Chinese Celery Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. Widely grown throughout China, this heirloom celery variety is valued for its slender, hollow stalks, aromatic leaves, and strong, distinctive flavor. Compared to European celery, Chinese celery is smaller, more delicate, and far more aromatic, making it especially well suited for Asian cuisine and fresh cooking.

Both the stalks and leaves are edible and commonly used in stir-fries, soups, noodle dishes, and broths. Chinese celery is also rich in fiber and essential vitamins, offering a nutritious addition to everyday meals. Its compact growth habit makes it an excellent choice for indoor containers, raised beds, and small garden spaces.

Aromatic, Slender-Stemmed Celery Variety:
Chinese Celery (Apium graveolens var. secalinum) is known for:

  • Thin, hollow stalks with a bold, savory flavor
  • Tender leaves commonly used as an herb or vegetable
  • A more intense aroma than standard celery varieties

Why Customers Love Chinese Celery:

  • Essential ingredient in many Asian and stir-fry dishes
  • Strong flavor means a little goes a long way
  • Compact plants ideal for containers and indoor growing
  • Both stalks and leaves are edible and useful
  • Widely grown and trusted heirloom variety

How to Use / How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors and transplant after seedlings are well established, as celery benefits from a longer growing period. Sow seeds on the soil surface and press lightly—light aids germination. Keep soil consistently moist and grow plants in full sun to partial shade with fertile, well-drained soil. Chinese celery performs well in containers when watered regularly.

Harvest & Use:
Harvest outer stalks and leaves as needed once plants are well established, or cut entire plants at maturity. Use fresh for maximum flavor in stir-fries, soups, and cooked dishes, or finely chop leaves as a flavorful garnish.
