How to Save Seeds
Celery readily cross-pollinates with other celery and celeriac varieties, so isolation by at least one mile is recommended for maintaining seed purity.
Allow healthy plants to overwinter by cutting celery down to a stump and mulching heavily for winter protection.
Remove mulch in spring to allow plants to regrow and flower during the second season.
Allow seeds to fully mature and dry on the plant before harvesting. Once completely dry, collect seeds and store them in a cool dry location for future planting.
