Notes
Celeriac (Apium graveolens) is a vegetable for the food garden and the annual bed. It is typically grown as an annual. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows 24 to 30 inches tall and 12 to 18 inches wide. If it flowers in its second year, the green to white blooms draw butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Black Magic kale, Cilantro, and Potato.
