Cultivation: Celery plants need a lot of moisture and thrive in the cooler temperatures of spring and fall. Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. To enhance germination, pre-soak seeds overnight before planting. Sow in spring/summer after last frost in a sunny location or late summer/early fall in mild areas. Grow in partial shade in hot areas. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Harvest leaves and young stems when plant is at any stage. Harvest mature plants at 10-12" tall.
