Giant Pink

A large celery up to 34 inches tall. Petioles are thick up to 0.75 inches wide. Petiole color varies from medium green to dark green with reddish/pink coloring. Some plants have no red/pink coloring. However, this is likely not an issue as many celery varieties have color variation. This is a strong tasting celery with hints of anise. If you like black licorice, you'll love this variety. Donated to SSE by John Wyncoll (ENGL WY J) who acquired this variety from an unknown commercial source. Wyncoll offered it in the SSE Yearbook Exchange from 1986-2000 and indicated it's also known as 'Clayworth Prize Pink.' SSE Accession # 107357
