Tall Utah

Open-pollinated. Tall Utah is a crisp, stringless green celery with tightly folded hearts, and broad, thick, well-rounded stalks. It’s a vigorous grower without getting flimsy. This is a popular green celery for late use. The most dependable variety ever! Fresh celery is much more aromatic and delicious than store bought. Tall Utah has dark green stalks and a very compact habit. Start seeds when weather has warmed so crop matures in fall. Mature celery lasts into winter with light frost protection. Special Instructions: Celery is a cool-season crop and needs a long growing season (70-140 days) , so it’s best to plant as soon as soil can be worked. Celery can stand a light frost and prefers light, rich moist to wet soil. Sow celery seeds in North in a warm, well-lighted area or in a hotbed about 10-12 weeks before the last heavy frost date in spring. In South and other mild areas, sow from fall to early spring. Sow seeds 1/4″ deep in seed starting formula. Keep evenly moist. Seedlings emerge in 10-21 days.
