Planting & Care

Start celery seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds shallowly, pressing them into the soil surface without covering deeply, as light aids germination. Keep the growing medium consistently moist and maintain a temperature around 70–75°F. Germination can be slow and uneven, so be patient. 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 tender, crisp stalks. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly throughout the growing season if needed. Tall Utah celery can be harvested as individual stalks or whole heads when mature.
