Apium graveolens includes celery, celeriac and leaf celery. Their seed assortments reflect different selected plant parts: fleshy leaf stalks, a swollen basal organ or aromatic foliage.

Botanical characteristics

The species belongs to Apiaceae and forms small pale flowers in umbels. Moist, fertile soil supports growth, but drainage remains important.

Leaf, stalk and swollen-base types

Wiener Riesen type Giant Prague, Verde Pascal and Amsterdam Dark Green are separate references for reseller assortments. Compare the complete reference and celery type rather than treating all Apium seed as interchangeable.
