Planting & Care

Start Tall Utah Celery seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds on the surface of a moist seed-starting mix, as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist and maintain a temperature around 70°F. Germination can be slow and uneven, so be patient. Once seedlings have several true leaves, harden them off and transplant into the garden after the danger of frost has passed.

Celery requires consistent moisture and rich soil to thrive. Water regularly to prevent the stalks from becoming tough or stringy. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. For a milder, more tender harvest, blanch stalks by wrapping them with paper or cardboard a few weeks before harvesting. Harvest stalks from the outside as needed, or cut the entire plant at the base.
