Notes

'Tango' celery (Apium graveolens 'Tango') is a vegetable for the food garden and a pollinator garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil. The blooms attract butterflies and bees. It is an organic celery with vigorous growth and an ascending habit.

Pairs well with Black Magic kale, Fernleaf dill, Purple Ruffles basil, and Black Prince tomato.
