Brilliant Celeriac

Product Details

This celeriac is easy to grow and harvest. The big white root has few external markings and grows vigorously. The flavour is nutty and has mild celery and parsley notes.

Celeriac is surprisingly versatile and makes a fantastic puree that matches well with other root vegetables. Try dicing some and adding to winter soups, stir-fries, or sliced thin in a scalloped or gratin dish. Or try cutting some raw celeriac thinly in to matchsticks or small cubes and pickling them in vinegar. The firm texture of pickled celeriac adds crunch and a bright flavour to salads and stews.

Quick Facts:

    • Flavour between mild celery and parsley
    • Grows vigorously
    • Nice in soups
    • Big white root with few markings
    • Matures in 110 days

Season & Zone

Season & Zone
Season: Cool season
Exposure: Full-sun

Timing

Timing
Start indoors in late winter to mid-spring. Optimal soil temperature: 15-24°C (60-75°F). Seeds take up to 20-30 days for germination.

Starting

Starting
Sow seeds no more than 5mm (¼”) deep, 3 seeds per pot, and thin to the strongest plant.

Days to Maturity

Days to Maturity
From transplant date.

Growing

Growing
Ideal pH: 6.0-6.5. Celery is a heavy feeder and needs rich, moist soil. Add compost to soil and apply ¼-½ cup of complete organic fertilizer per 1.5m (5′) of row. Transplant when seedlings are 10-12cm (4-5″) tall. Avoid transplanting until night time temperatures are reliably at 10°C (50°F) or warmer. Space transplants 30cm (12″) apart in rows at least 45cm (18″) apart. Water frequently. Premature bolting may result from young plants being exposed to temperatures below 13°C (55°F) for several days.

Harvest

Harvest
For best flavour and longer storage, water plants the day before harvest. Stalks on the outside of the plant can be harvested at any time. The entire plant may be harvested once the desired size is reached, but the home gardener should leave the plant in the garden and take only what is needed, leaving the root intact. If winter is not too cold, celery will stand in the garden until spring, allowing for light pickings for soups and salads.
