Our replacement for Summer Kintsai, Chinese Yellow Stem has delicate, hollow stems with very little fibre.
Chinese celery has a stronger flavour and is harvested earlier than standard celery, making it easier to grow. Use the leaves and stalks in stir-fries, soups, salads, and dumplings.

| Starting |
Sow seeds no more than 5mm (¼”) deep, 3 seeds per pot, and thin to the strongest plant. |
| Growing |
Ideal pH: 6.0-6.5. Celery is a heavy feeder and needs rich, moist soil. Add compost to soil and apply ¼-½ cup of complete organic fertilizer per 1.5m (5′) of row. Transplant when seedlings are 10-12cm (4-5″) tall. Avoid transplanting until night time temperatures are reliably at 10°C (50°F) or warmer. Space transplants 30cm (12″) apart in rows at least 45cm (18″) apart. Water frequently. Premature bolting may result from young plants being exposed to temperatures below 13°C (55°F) for several days. |
