Pascal

Celery

100d to harvest

Fragrant and crisp from the first stalk to the last, Pascal celery forms dense, upright hearts with a clean, green snap and a pleasantly sweet, garden-fresh flavor. The tender ribs stay smooth and succulent, ideal for lifting into bright salads, classic crudités, and silky sauces where its gentle celery character shines. Grow Pascal for a cool-season harvest that rewards with sturdy, well-blanched texture and a refined, aromatic finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pest or disease most commonly affects sweet/leaf celery (Apium graveolens var. dulce), and how can I manage it?

Leaf celery commonly suffers from early blight-like leaf spotting and, in wet weather, fungal leaf diseases; cool, consistently damp foliage is the trigger. Water at the soil line (not over the leaves), thin seedlings for airflow, and remove heavily spotted leaves promptly. If problems persist, apply a labeled fungicide according to the product directions for celery/Apium graveolens and rotate products to avoid resistance.

How can I tell when sweet/leaf celery (Apium graveolens var. dulce) is ready to harvest?

Harvest when the outer leaf petioles are firm and reach a usable size, typically around 90–110 days from sowing depending on conditions. For leaf celery, you can begin “cut-and-come-again” picking the outer leaves once plants are well developed, rather than waiting for full maturity. Avoid harvesting too early—thin, underfilled petioles will be less crisp and more bitter.
