Celery 'Peppermint Stick'

Cutting celery 'Peppermint Stick' is an original and very decorative vegetable variety, appreciated for its slender stems striped with pink to red, which bring a colorful touch to the vegetable garden, herb containers, and edible planters. Its aromatic foliage offers a fresh celery flavor, ideal for flavoring soups, broths, sauces, salads, stews, and homemade recipes. Unlike classic stalk celery, it is mainly grown for its leaves and young stems, which are easily harvested as needed.

Easy to grow, cutting celery 'Peppermint Stick' prefers a sunny to lightly semi-shaded location, in rich, cool, fertile, and well-drained soil. It appreciates regular watering, as a lack of water can make the stems tougher and accentuate their taste. Growing it in a container is very practical on a terrace or near the kitchen, where its fragrant foliage remains accessible for daily harvests. Frequent harvesting of the outer stems encourages the production of new tender and flavorful shoots.

Both productive, aesthetic, and very useful in the kitchen, cutting celery 'Peppermint Stick' is perfect for creating a more colorful and original gourmet garden. Its striped stems add a beautiful visual effect in salads, garnishes, and fresh dishes, while offering the classic celery fragrance. It is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for an easy-to-grow, decorative, and versatile aromatic plant for urban vegetable gardens, containers, and edible landscaping.
