Tall green stems
Excellent flavour
Long harvest period
Good resistance to bolting and disease.
Bred for the UK climate, Celery ‘Hadrian’ produces tall green stems with excellent flavour, lasting well in good condition for a long harvest period. It shows good fusarium disease resistance to bolting, and is less prone to producing side shoots than other varieties.
Sow indoors
Level fill a module tray with seed compost firming with the base of another tray. Water well with a fine rose. Sow seeds individually covering seeds with 0.5cm (¼ in) compost. Place in a propagator at 15-20°C (60-70°F) or cover the tray with cling film and leave in a warm room. Keep moist.
Grow on
When shoots appear, remove the cling film. Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight. Grow on in a minimum temperature of 10?C (50?F). Gradually accustom plants to outdoor conditions before planting out.
Plant out
When seedlings have produced 4 leaves, transplant them to their cropping position leaving 25cm (10in) between plants. Firm in and keep well watered in dry spells.
