Kellog's Yampah | Perideridia kelloggii

a must-have for any herb or vegetable garden. To grow Kellog's yampah you will need to provide a sunny location with well-drained soil, although the plants are capable of adapting to any soil conditions. The seeds require a cold stratification period of at least 4 weeks before planting. Mix the barely wet soil with the seeds and place in the zip lock bag in the fridge for 4 weeks, checking periodically for germination. Stratified seeds should germinate in 2-3 weeks. Alternatively the seeds can be sown outdoors as long as the weather stays in the low 40s F, allowing them to go through a natural cold stratification. Kellog's yampah grows to a height of about 2-3 feet and produces clusters of delicate white flowers in late spring ot early summer. The leaves and stems of the plant have a pleasant, celery-like flavor that can be used in a variety of culinary dishes, including soups, stews and salads.
