Early-Maturing, Tender Stalks for Gourmet Gardens
Celery Tango is an exceptional early-season variety that brings gourmet quality to your home garden. This high-yielding cultivar matures in just 55-60 days, offering gardeners a quick turnaround from planting to harvest. Tango’s standout feature is its remarkably smooth, 18-20″ green stalks that epitomize what premium celery should be: tender, sweet, and completely free of stringiness.
Tango celery elevates both raw and cooked dishes with its superior texture and flavor profile. The crisp, juicy stalks are perfect for snacking, adding crunch to salads, or providing a aromatic base for soups and stews. Unlike some celery varieties that can be tough or bitter, Tango maintains its sweetness and tenderness even as the stalks reach full size, ensuring a delightful eating experience from the first harvest to the last.
In the garden, Celery Tango exhibits robust growth habits, reaching a mature height of 18-20 inches. This compact size makes it ideal for smaller garden spaces or container growing. Plant Tango seedlings 12-14 inches apart to allow ample room for development and easy harvesting. The heavy-yielding nature of this variety means you’ll enjoy a bountiful harvest throughout the growing season, providing a steady supply of fresh celery for your culinary needs.
Growing Success Tips:
- Ensure consistent moisture throughout the growing season for crisp, flavorful stalks
- Apply a balanced fertilizer every 2-3 weeks to support vigorous growth
- Mulch around plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds
- Harvest outer stalks as needed, allowing the plant to continue producing
Celery Tango offers home gardeners the opportunity to grow restaurant-quality celery right in their own backyard. Its early maturation, exceptional flavor, and ease of cultivation make it a valuable addition to any vegetable garden or culinary landscape. For the sweetest stalks, blanch the lower portion by wrapping with paper or cardboard 2-3 weeks before harvest.
