This is a beautiful mix of Chinese Pink Celery and Giant Red Celery.
Chinese pink celery is a stunning bright pink celery. It is popular in high-end restaurants in northern China. The stalks are more slender than regular green celery, but it is easier to grow. The flavour is mild and slightly sweet, and nice and crunchy.
Giant Red Celery is a traditional English variety, beloved by generations of gardeners. It has a robust celery flavour, and is also easy to grow.
Both varieties are quite cold-tolerant- they survived just fine over the winter that got down to -15C, so at least zone 7. The flavour of both varieties will improve in fall when the weather cools down. Note that celery does tend to like lots of water for best flavour.

Shipping & Returns

We ship seeds via Canada Post within Canada for $6 to $8 depending on weight, and Internationally for a flat rate of $20*. Shipping costs to the US will include the cost of a phytosanitary inspection and certificate, as well as tariffs.
Live plants, bulbs, and bulbils can only be shipped within Canada.

Shipping in Canada
We ship seeds in Canada via regular letter mail, which is an untracked service, and usually takes 1-3 weeks to arrive once we fulfill your order, but occasionally orders take longer, especially to the Eastern provinces and rural areas.
Customers can now opt for tracked, express shipping options at checkout if you require faster delivery.
Larger bulbs and plants are sent via tracked flat rate box.
Shipping to the US
Shipping charges to the US will also now include a government phytosanitary inspection and certificate. This will be bundled into the shipping cost. We ship via Canada Post, and any applicable duties will be calculated at checkout. So far (as of Sept 1, 2025), it's looking like there are no duties charged on seeds.
Please expect delays for US shipping, as during busy times it can take up to 2 weeks for us to book a phytosanitary inspection.

All germinated, and grew very tall (3 ft)with lots of leaf and stems. However, is so bitter! Kept soil wet at all times - as much as my regular celery which is not bitter. Mid Aug, I tried blanching, freezing and drying but still so bitter and can't eat. I'm not sure what to do with them. Perhaps my type of soil that made them bitter?
Super quick shipping and they combined two orders and refunded the shipping on one order! Excellent customer service!
A quick and accurate fulfillment of my order. Close enough I could pick it up at the farm. I am excited to try these new strains of seeds! 4 stars B/C I haven't planted yet!
Germination rate was great, and plants are looking healthy so far!
Seeds arrived quickly. Cute packaging.
