Chinese Celery Seeds - Vegetable Plant

Chinese Celery is a highly aromatic leafy vegetable known for its strong flavor, thin stalks, and tender green leaves. Unlike standard celery, it is primarily grown for its leafy growth rather than thick stems. The plant is widely used in stir-fries, soups, salads, and Asian cuisine for its distinctive taste and fragrance. It thrives in cool to moderate temperatures with moist, fertile soil and is ideal for kitchen gardens and continuous harvesting.
