Planting & Care
Start celery seeds indoors 10-12 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 outdoors after acclimating them to outdoor conditions.
Celery requires consistent moisture and rich soil to develop tender 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 benefits from regular watering and can be blanched by wrapping stalks with paper or row cover to reduce bitterness, though it is sweet even without blanching.
