Herb Celery Cutting Seeds

Bring fresh, savory flavor to your kitchen garden with cutting celery seeds from David's Garden Seeds®. Also called leaf celery, this form of Apium graveolens is grown primarily for its aromatic leaves and slender stems rather than the thick, crisp stalks of bunching celery. A little goes a long way in soups, stocks, salads and vegetable dishes.

Why Grow Cutting Celery?

• Concentrated celery flavor: Finely chop the leaves and tender stems when you want savory celery character without a large stalk harvest.
• Repeat picking: Harvest established plants a little at a time while leaving the growing center to produce new foliage.
• Flexible garden placement: Grow in herb beds, vegetable gardens or containers with drainage and enough room for mature roots.

Planting and Growing Tips

• Start with the packet: Follow the selected variety's sowing depth, timing and spacing directions. These small seeds need careful handling and consistent moisture during germination.
• Allow time for germination: Sow in fine seed-starting mix and avoid letting the surface dry out. Seedlings develop slowly at first, so give them bright light and time to establish.
• Transplant gently: Harden indoor-grown seedlings off gradually before planting outdoors at the recommended time for your climate.
• Choose a suitable site: Provide fertile, well-drained soil and steady moisture. Sun suits mild conditions, while afternoon shade can help reduce stress during hot weather.
• Keep growth steady: Water before plants become severely dry and feed as needed according to soil conditions. Mulch around established plants without burying their crowns.
• Watch seasonal changes: Heat, cold exposure and plant maturity can affect growth and flowering. Remove unwanted flower stalks and plan new sowings when older plants decline.

Harvesting and Kitchen Uses

• Pick after establishment: Snip outer stems as needed, keeping the center and enough foliage for continued growth. Avoid stripping a young plant bare.
• Season to taste: Start with a small amount in soups, stews, sauces, egg dishes and salads, then adjust to suit its assertive flavor.
• Save some for later: Wash harvested leaves well and use fresh, freeze chopped portions or dry thoroughly for seasoning. Store dried leaves in a clean, airtight container.
