Wild celery stands tall at a height of 1.5 to 3 feet (45 to 90 cm) in its natural herbaceous form. The plant exhibits a sturdy upright growth pattern with stems that have a tendency to ascend. Its leaves showcase a strong resemblance both visually and aromatically to the familiar celery, contributing to its identification. Characterized by its telltale flowers, wild celery presents an inflorescence of white to greenish-white hues that are arranged in an umbellifer structure, a common trait within its family. With these key physical features, wild celery is a noteworthy component of the Apiaceae, or Carrot family.
