About Celeriac

Celeriac (celery root) is a rewarding but demanding crop with a long growing season. The knobbly root has a mild celery-like flavor and stores well all winter.

Start indoors 10-12 weeks before last frost — one of the earliest indoor starts of the season. Transplant after all frost risk. Keep consistently moist. Trim side roots as bulb develops. Harvest before hard freeze.

Gardening in British Columbia

BC has dramatically different climates. The mild rainy coast (Zone 7-9) allows near-year-round growing. The interior is semi-arid (Zone 5-7) with hot summers and cold winters. One of Canada's most productive growing regions.
