| Parcel is beautiful in the garden and has been a carefree addition. However, I find that the leaves are best harvested and snipped into a cooked dish rather than eaten raw or alone as they have a strong and sometimes bitter taste. This MAY be due to the lack of rain here this summer, but I am happy using it as an herb as it lends a nice celery flavor. |

| I have grown this off and on for several years. I love it because it easy to grow. It is a very attractive plant and although it doesn't taste like store bought celery it has a nice celery flavor. I love the convenience of being able to pluck a few leaves for a salad or soup and not having to take space in the refrigerator for a bunch of celery. |
