Giant Prague is an heirloom variety of celery grown primarily for its large, flavorful roots.  If you struggle to grow traditional celery, Giant Prague is a great alternative.  First introduced in 1871, this easy-to-grow variety produces large, hairy bulbs with flavorful, white centers.  The crisp roots are traditionally used to flavor soups and when thinly sliced have a kohlrabi-like crunch that makes them great in salads.  Additionally, the leaves have a strong celery flavor and can be used sparingly as a garnish or flavor enhancer.  While Giant Prague is easier to grow than traditional celery, it shares the common feature of being a slow grower, so plan on starting it early and be prepared to grow in patience as it grows slowly in size.  Matures approximately 110-120 days from transplant.  Each packet contains a minimum of 250 seeds.
