Everwilde Farms - 2000 Tendercrisp Celery Seeds - Gold Vault Jumbo Bulk Seed Packet

Tendercrisp is a high-yielder and produces massive yet compact heads of celery. The stalks measure about 12" to the first joint, and take about 112 days to reach maturity. No one really knows where celery originated, though claims come from such diverse locations as Sweden, New Zealand, and Algeria. Experts believe it probably was first cultivated in the Mediterranean basin. In ancient times, celery was valued primarily for its medicinal benefits; French and Italian cooks first started making use of it for an herb or flavoring in the seventeenth century. A Scotsman named George Taylor is credited with bringing celery to United States, when he grew it in his garden and offered it to the guests at a local ball.
