- Growing notes
- Although officially classed as determinate by the breeder and AAS, Celebrity can become unusually tall for a determinate and is sometimes labelled semi-determinate. Caging or staking is worthwhile despite AAS noting that staking is not essential. Do not merge this cultivar with Celebrity Plus or Celebrity Supreme.
