Growing Celery from Seed

Posted by TopVeg - April 20th, 2008

Celery can be grown from seed or purchased as seedlings in plugs.

Celery seed is sown in late March, & needs a temperature around 70 deg F. to germinate. Seeds should be sown about 5cm apart, & 0.5 cm deep. They will take about two weeks to germinate.

Seedlings can be planted out after 5 or 6 weeks when the temperature is above 55 deg F.

Seedlings should be planted 20cm apart within the row, & rows should be 90cm apart.

Celery seed is tricky to grow, and buying seedlings is an attractive option.
