Tango Celery

Celery 'Tango' (Apium graveolens 'Tango') is a vigorous, improved celery variety that makes growing this traditionally demanding vegetable more accessible, consistent, and deeply rewarding than ever — delivering thick, crisp, deeply aromatic stalks with exceptional uniformity, strong plant vigor, and a clean, bright classic celery flavor that is far superior in freshness and character to anything available commercially. 'Tango' is celebrated among home and market growers for its ease of culture, reliable bolt resistance, and outstanding flavor profile — a genuinely satisfying, versatile culinary crop that rewards careful soil preparation and consistent moisture with a harvest of homegrown stalks that elevate every dish they touch, from fresh snacking and juicing to soups, stocks, and braised preparations.

This professional-grade 4" organic seedling has been cultivated through certified organic practices and arrives with a healthy, well-established root system ready to transplant and grow on quickly toward harvest. 'Tango' Celery performs magnificently in consistently moist, deeply worked, fertile soil in a full sun to part shade position — ideally within a cool-season garden window where mild temperatures support the development of the crispest, most intensely flavored and well-blanched stalks. It performs beautifully in raised beds, in-ground vegetable gardens, and large containers with reliable moisture and feeding, making homegrown organic celery an achievable and deeply satisfying goal for gardeners of all experience levels.

• Improved Variety for Reliable Home Growing: 'Tango' is specifically selected for vigorous growth, exceptional plant uniformity, and ease of culture — making this traditionally demanding crop significantly more accessible, consistent, and rewarding for home gardeners and market growers seeking a dependable, high-quality celery harvest.
• Superior Crisp Flavor & Texture: Thick, juicy, deeply aromatic stalks deliver a clean, bright classic celery flavor with outstanding crunch and freshness — a far superior eating and cooking experience to commercially grown celery that fully justifies every effort invested in growing your own organic crop.
• Certified Organic Root System: Grown through certified organic practices from the start, this transplant arrives with a strong, well-developed root system that establishes quickly in fertile, moist soil and begins putting on vigorous top growth with impressive speed after transplanting.
• Versatile Culinary Crop: Fresh stalks are outstanding eaten raw, added to salads, juiced, and used in stocks, soups, and braised dishes — the flavorful leaves serve equally as an herb garnish and flavoring agent, making the entire plant a genuine, multi-dimensional culinary asset from base to tip.
• Cool-Season Flavor Champion: Celery produces its crispest, most intensely flavored and best-blanched stalks in the mild temperatures of spring and fall — a perfect crop for extending the productive kitchen garden season beyond the heat of summer into the most rewarding shoulder months of the growing year.

These 4" organic seedlings thrive in full sun to partial shade with deeply worked, consistently moist, fertile soil rich in organic matter; celery is a heavy feeder and heavy drinker — never allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Transplant outdoors after the last frost date; celery prefers cool growing temperatures of 60–70°F for the best stalk quality and flavor development. Days to maturity: approximately 80–100 days from transplant. In warm climates, target a fall harvest by back-calculating from your first expected frost date. Feed every two to three weeks with a balanced organic fertilizer for best stalk development. Mature height: 18–24 inches.

We take great care to ensure our seedlings are healthy and well-established before they’re shipped. We pre-germinate the organic seeds and grow them up to 12 weeks before shipping them as mature plants ready for transplant. Seedlings typically arrive within 1-4 days.
