Improved breeding makes Tango the celery of choice for a wide range of growing conditions. It excels in southern Canada and the northern US. Its stringless stalks have very little fibre, but have a high water content and keep a remarkably refined taste.
The stalks can grow to 45-50cm (18-20") tall and are self-blanching. The leaves are strongly aromatic and useful in soups and savoury dishes of all kinds. Tango matures a little earlier than some of the others and is recommended for market growers and home gardeners alike. Winner of the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
