Harvested at approximately 10 cm across, the compact bulbs are tender and aromatic with the distinctive sweet, earthy celery flavour characteristic of Celeriac.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe creamy flesh is delicious grated raw into salads and remoulade, roasted, mashed, baked, puréed or added to soups and stews. The leafy tops are also useful for flavouring stocks, soups, herb salts and other savoury dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore 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, making White Alabaster a useful winter storage vegetable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants prefer full sun and deep, humus-rich, fertile soil with consistent moisture. Celeriac is a relatively slow-growing crop and benefits from steady nutrition and watering throughout its approximately 120-day growing period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 600 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Autumn to winter in cooler highland areas\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Early autumn in cooler locations\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Spring and early autumn\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Spring after frost, starting seed earlier under protection if required\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow the very fine seed into trays or punnets, pressing gently onto the surface of moist seed-raising mix and covering only very lightly.
