Celery Leaf (Apium graveolens var. secalinum)
A leafy, aromatic celery grown for abundant foliage — perfect for flavouring soups, stews, salads, and herbal mixes
🌿 Celery Leaf, also known as Leaf Celery or Cutting Celery, is a vigorous, leafy herb grown for its abundant, aromatic foliage rather than thick stems. It has a clean, savoury celery flavour with a bright herbal lift. Iideal for seasoning, garnishing, and adding depth to soups, stews, and fresh salads.
Unlike traditional celery, this variety produces lots of fine, flavour‑packed leaves on slender stems, making it perfect for herbal salad mixtures, bouquets garnis, and cut‑and‑come‑again harvesting throughout the season. It’s easy to grow, highly productive, and thrives in containers or borders.
A brilliant herb for cooks who want celery flavour without the fuss of stem production.
