Celeriac Giant Of Prague Seeds

Unit price perApium graveolens var. rapaceum
Giant of Prague is a classic European Celeriac variety dating to at least the 19th century and grown for its large, relatively smooth, rounded roots. An old favourite since around 1871, it remains a dependable variety for gardeners wanting substantial roots with excellent flavour and good storage qualities.
Celeriac is a close relative of celery, but rather than being grown primarily for its stalks, it develops a swollen, bulbous root with a distinctive sweet, earthy celery flavour. The creamy flesh is delicious grated raw into salads and remoulade, mashed, roasted, baked, puréed or added to soups and stews. The leafy tops are also useful for flavouring stocks, soups, herb salts and other savoury dishes.
More cold tolerant than celery, Celeriac is particularly well suited to temperate climates and develops its best roots through a long, cool growing season. Harvested roots store exceptionally well under cool conditions, much like carrots and other winter root vegetables.
Giant of Prague prefers full sun and deep, humus-rich, fertile soil with consistent moisture. Celeriac is a slow-growing crop and benefits from steady nutrition and watering throughout its approximately 120-day growing period.
Seed count: approximately 2,500 seeds/g
Approximately 600 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Autumn to winter in cooler highland areas
Subtropics: Early autumn in cooler locations
Mild climates: Spring and early autumn
Cold climates: Spring after frost, starting seed earlier under protection if required
Planting / Sowing
Sow the very fine seed into trays or punnets, pressing gently onto the surface of moist seed-raising mix and covering only very lightly. Keep consistently moist during the relatively slow germination period.
Transplant seedlings once sturdy, spacing approximately 25–30 cm apart in rich, well-prepared soil. Plant with the crown at soil level rather than burying it deeply, allowing the swollen root to develop above the soil surface.
Maintain consistent moisture throughout growth. Harvest when the roots have reached a useful size, generally from approximately 120 days. Remove the leafy tops before storing roots under cool conditions.
Maturity: approximately 120 days.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
