Afina Cutting Celery

Apium graveolens secalinum. Actually a seasoning Celery that does not produce an enlarged stalk, Afina is even more aromatic and flavorful than regular Celery. From one of our favorite Dutch seed producers, Afina grows about 18" tall, looks like flat-leafed Parsley and is packed with big Celery flavor. Cutting Celery is a bit finicky to get started but once transplanted into the garden, it is relatively easy. In Holland, Afina's leaves and hollow stalks are used to flavor soups and stews. It may also be dried by hanging upside down in a well-ventilated area. It is best raised as transplants 10 to 12 weeks before transplanting outside after the last spring frost date. Tender perennial. (OP.) HZ: 8-10. Treat as an annual.

Average seed life: 1 year.

One packet of about 250 seeds

    • Cutting Celery Seed Sowing Instructions
      Planting Depth      :1/8”-1/4”
      Row Spacing:24”-30”
      Plant Spacing:6”-12”
      Days to Germination:7-21 days
      Germination Temperature:65°-75°F

      A bit finicky, Afina Cutting Celery is relatively easy to grow once the seedlings are established. Raise as transplants, sowing 10 to 12 weeks before the last frost. Soak the seed overnight and sow shallowly since light aids its germination. Provide 65°-75°F temperatures, strong light, good air circulation and moist soil until the seedlings emerge. Afina Cutting Celery is a heavy drinker and feeder: amend the bed as necessary with organic fertilizer, compost and/or well-rotted manure. After all danger of frost has passed, harden them off by gradually acclimating them to the outdoors over 7 to 10 days. Water regularly. Keep the plants carefully weeded but do not cultivate deeply because they have shallow root systems. Harvest the fine green leaves and hollow stalks at anytime. The crop can withstand light frosts if covered. Or, cut whole plant off at base and dry for later use.
