Apium graveolens## HOW TO GROW CELERY Start indoors 10–12 weeks before last frost, plant out 1 week after frost. For fall harvest, transplant 3 weeks before first frost, without a dditional protection. In a hoophouse, you can plant 2-3 weeks later. Bolting is caused by 10 days below 55˚F, when hardening off for transplant, reduce water 7-10 days. Do not harden off celery by lowering temperatures. Can handle heat and consistent moisture but prefers cool temps between 60-70˚F. Requires fertility for best crop. Garden harvest by cutting outside stalks as needed. For market remove outward growing stems and leaves, cut entire plant just below ground. Seeds require light to germinate, press into soil, do not cover. Soil pH 6.1-7.0. Hardiness zones 7.

Good for blanching and stir frys. Ideal for midwinter and early spring production in milder climates. Discovered by Henri Pascal in 1884 in a seed plot of solid golden white celery in Nimes, France. “It was in pulling out my solid golden white celery in order to blanch it that I recognized that certain stalks were superior to others. I found them excellent for cooking, they are good besides, and well formed.” Long time popular commercial variety, easily harvested, good shipper and shelf-life.
