Description

From our cross between Giant Red and Ventura (the most adaptive and resilient green celery available to the fresh market grower). With ample water and fertility, ‘Redventure’ produces dark to brilliant red stalks with emerald green leaves. Striking blanched stalks can be harvested singly for continuous supply of ideal salad celery, or fully mature plants produce a nice semi-blanched golden-pink heart. Very popular in customers’ trials, and my personal favorite. Farm Original Variety!
