Planting & Care

Start Conquistador Celery 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. Germination can be slow and uneven; maintain a temperature around 70-75°F (21-24°C) for best results. Once seedlings have several true leaves and danger of frost has passed, harden them off and transplant into the garden.

Celery requires consistent moisture and rich soil to develop crisp, tender stalks. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly throughout the growing season. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, as this can cause tough, hollow stalks. With proper care, Conquistador Celery will reward you with a bountiful harvest of flavorful, crunchy stalks.
