Notes

'Mars' celeriac (Apium graveolens 'Mars') is a vegetable for the food garden and the pollinator garden. 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 soil. Butterflies and bees visit its blooms, which open in spring and again in autumn.

Pairs well with Bouquet dill, Victoria rhubarb, and Black Cherry tomato.
