Growing Tips

  • Start seeds early because celeriac develops slowly and needs a long growing period.
  • Press seeds gently onto moist soil rather than burying them deeply.
  • Keep seedlings evenly moist and provide bright light during early growth.
  • Maintain consistent moisture as the swollen roots develop for better growth.

Seed Storage

Store unused seeds in a cool, dry, dark location away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Keep them in a sealed, moisture-resistant container until planting.

Unique Facts About Seeds

  • Celeriac has a celery-like flavor with earthy, nutty notes.
  • The plant is closely related to celery, parsley, carrots, and other members of the Apiaceae family.

Growing Instructions

Planting Season: Start seeds indoors well before the last expected spring frost because celeriac grows slowly. Transplant outdoors when seedlings are established and temperatures are suitable for cool-season growth.

Sowing: Sow seeds in trays or small containers filled with fine, moist seed-starting mix. Press seeds onto the surface because they require light for good germination.

Depth: Surface sow or cover only very lightly with fine growing medium. Avoid deep planting.

Spacing: Once seedlings are established, transplant them approximately six to twelve inches apart, leaving adequate room for root development.

Sunlight: Grow in full sun to partial shade. Consistent light supports healthy foliage and root development.

Soil: Use fertile, moisture-retentive, well-drained soil enriched with compost. The soil should remain loose enough for the root to expand.

Watering: Keep soil consistently moist throughout the growing season. Avoid allowing the soil to dry out severely, especially while roots are enlarging.

Germination: Seeds commonly germinate within approximately fourteen to twenty-one days under favorable conditions. Germination can take longer when temperatures or moisture levels are unsuitable.

Transplanting: Transplant seedlings once they have developed several true leaves and outdoor conditions are favorable. Handle seedlings carefully and avoid burying the central growing point.

Fertilizing: Incorporate mature compost before planting. Feed with a balanced vegetable fertilizer during active growth if soil fertility requires additional nutrients.

Care: Keep weeds under control and maintain steady soil moisture. Avoid excessive disturbance around developing roots.

Flowering and Maturity: Celeriac is grown primarily for its swollen underground root and generally requires a long growing season. Roots may reach harvest size approximately ninety to one hundred twenty days after transplanting, depending on variety and growing conditions. Harvest before severe freezing where necessary.
