Golden Pascal
90d to harvest
Golden Pascal celery brings a luminous, mellow sweetness to the garden—crisp stalks with a tender snap and a clean, aromatic bite. At maturity, the upright plants form a compact crown of warm golden-green ribs that stay pleasantly crisp for fresh use and shine in classic celery-forward preparations, from roasting to simmered sauces. Grow it for that bright, garden-fresh flavor and the satisfying, string-free texture that makes every bunch feel special.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I water Golden Pascal during its main growing phase?
During the main growth phase (after seedlings establish), keep the soil consistently evenly moist—typically 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) of water per week total depending on heat and container size. Don’t let the soil dry out between waterings, because Apium graveolens can turn bitter and become tough if moisture swings; use mulch to steady moisture and water deeply when the top 1 inch (2.5 cm) of soil dries. Water in the morning so foliage surface dries quickly.
How can I tell when Golden Pascal is ready to harvest?
Harvest at about 90 days from sowing/transplanting window for your timing, when plants form full-size, crisp roots and tender, flavorful stalks. For a crisp eating quality, pick outer stalks first once they’re thick enough for use, then continue harvesting as the rest catch up. If you see stalks becoming stringy or very tall and loose, it’s past peak tenderness—start harvesting immediately.
