Celery Seeds for Planting: Crisp Stalks and Celery Root

Homegrown celery has a stronger flavor and more snap than anything from a grocery aisle, and it's worth the extra patience. Our collection of celery seeds covers classic tall green stalk types, pale golden types, and a celery root variety for gardeners who want to cook with the whole plant. You'll find organic and conventional options, and each listing notes which is which, so you can filter for organic celery seeds or shop the full range.

Celery Seed Varieties: Tall Utah, Golden, and Celeriac

Utah Tall Celery and Tall Utah Celery are the standard American choice, with thick green stalks that hold up in soups and stocks and taste good raw. Tango Celery is another stalk type for gardeners who want a dependable, cool-season green. Golden Boy Celery offers paler stalks and a milder look that stands out from typical green celery. And if you'd rather grow the root than the stalk, Giant Prague Celeriac produces the knobby, earthy roots used in mash, roasts, and remoulade. Mixing a stalk variety and celeriac in the same bed is a good way to try both without changing much about how you grow them.

Growing Celery from Seed: A Long Season That Starts Indoors

Celery isn't a last-minute crop. Fedco Seeds advises starting it indoors 10 to 12 weeks before transplanting, and most of the celery listed in this collection shows 91 to 120 days to maturity, so the calendar matters more here than with almost any other vegetable. Plant celery seed shallowly, keep it evenly moist, and be prepared for slow germination. That's a lot of dates to juggle, which is where the Seedtime garden planning software helps: it builds a planting calendar around your frost dates so you know exactly when to seed and transplant, and the task list reminds you when each step comes up.
