Celery Leaf Red Stemmed Seeds

€4.00

Apium graveolens

Celery Leaf Red-Stemmed is an unusual and beautiful biennial variety grown primarily for its aromatic leaves rather than thick stalks. Once commonly cultivated in Northern Ireland, it has deep roots in traditional kitchen gardens and Irish cooking.

Plants produce striking burgundy-red stems with vibrant green leaves. Easier to grow than standard celery, it thrives in both pots and open ground and suits Ireland’s mild, damp climate well. Leaves can be harvested regularly and used fresh throughout the growing season.

Average number of seeds: 50

Open-pollinated, chemical-free seeds. Grown and saved in Wexford, Ireland. We only grow and save seeds from plants that were started from certified organic seeds.

Each seed packet includes growing tips and cooking suggestions inside.

  • Celery Leaf Red-Stemmed thrives in sunny, well-drained spots and is well-suited to pots, raised beds, or open ground. Sow seeds thinly indoors into modular trays or pots filled with moist, peat-free seed compost. Sprinkle seeds on the surface and do not cover, as they need light to germinate. Maintain a temperature of 10 °C or above and keep compost consistently moist, watering from the base until true leaves form.

    Grow seedlings on carefully, then plant out once well established. Harvest leaves regularly to encourage fresh growth. In its second year, plants will flower and can be left to set seed.

    Sow: February to June

    Plant out: May to July

    Harvest: All year round

  • Red-stemmed leaf celery has a vibrant, savoury, peppery flavour and is best used as a seasoning herb rather than a stick celery. Finely chop the aromatic leaves into soups, stews, stocks, risottos, and sauces, or use them to lift salads, stuffings, and vegetable dishes.

    The slender stems can be sliced for a gentle crunch in stir-fries or used as an aromatic base for cooking. It also makes an excellent garnish for Bloody Mary cocktails and can be dried for use through the winter.
