Planting & Care

Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds shallowly, barely covering them with soil, and keep the growing medium consistently moist. Celery seeds need light to germinate and can be slow to sprout, so be patient. Once seedlings have several true leaves and danger of frost has passed, harden them off and transplant into the garden.

Celery is a heavy feeder and requires regular watering to keep stalks tender and crisp. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Side-dress with compost or a balanced fertilizer during the growing season. Harvest stalks from the outside as needed, or cut the entire plant at the base when mature.
