Variety characteristics:

1. Agronomic traits: The petioles of red celery are red to purplish red, and the leaves are green. As the plant grows, the petiole color gradually fades from the inside outward; the inner petioles are red, while the outer petioles are light red or nearly white. It has a medium plant type, with a plant height of 60 to 65 cm. It is suitable for sowing in late summer and early autumn, grows quickly, and is heat tolerant. When grown over winter, it tends to bolt after the Spring Festival and must be harvested in time.

Small-scale trial planting and market launch in 2002-2003 achieved relatively high economic benefits, with the unit price per kg being 4 yuan higher than that of ordinary celery, making it the best choice and supplement for holiday gift vegetables.
