Growing Tips for Success:
-
Sowing: Start seeds indoors 10–12 weeks before the last frost for early harvests
-
Soil: Prefers rich, well-draining soil amended with compost for deep, flavorful stalks
-
Sun: Full sun or light shade in hotter climates; consistent moisture ensures tenderness
-
Spacing: Thin seedlings to 6–8 inches apart in rows 18–24 inches apart for optimal growth
-
Watering: Keep evenly moist; celery thrives with consistent hydration, especially during heat
-
Harvest: Harvest outer stalks when 8–10 inches long, or wait for full plant maturity for entire stalk bundles
-
Season: Best grown in cool to mild climates; performs well in spring and fall plantings
