Perennial celery, also known as Maggi or wild celery, is a robust growing plant that reaches up to 60 cm in height. The plant features large, finely-cut aromatic leaves that are commonly used to flavor dishes such as raw vegetables, soups, and fresh cheeses. Dried leaves are also great for making homemade celery salt. This versatile herb adds depth to your cooking and is a must-have for any herb garden.

Cultivation Tips for Perennial Celery (Maggi):

• Sowing: Sow seeds in April or from July to August in a seed tray or pot. Keep the soil consistently moist for successful germination.
• Plant Spacing: Once established, plant the young celery plants 80 cm apart in a sunny to partially shaded location.
• Soil Requirements: Perennial celery thrives in rich, cool, and well-draining soil. Prepare the soil to ensure it is loose and aerated for healthy root development.
• Care: Ensure the plants receive enough water, especially during dry spells. They thrive in a cool, moist environment and require little maintenance once established.

With its strong fragrance and multiple culinary uses, perennial celery is a great choice for both the vegetable garden and herb garden. The leaves can be used fresh or dried to add a savory depth to your dishes.
