Giant Prague is a heritage celeriac from 1871 which gardeners now consider a heirloom variety. The rough exterior masks a gorgeous nutty celery flavour and creamy potato-like texture. This variety of Celeriac produces medium to large sized round roots from April to July. It is a great keeper which stores in good condition for up to six months in a cellar or fridge.

Planning your site
Celeriac needs moisture, so plant them in a fertile, rich, moisture-retentive soil in full sun. Raised beds are ideal as are well-prepared open beds. Plant Celeriac plugs 30cm apart in rows 45cm wide.
Growing tips
Soil needs to be kept moist and not be allowed to dry out so always water before periods of drought. Mulching is a great way to retain moisture so keep a thick layer of organic matter on plants throughout the growing season. As the plants mature, remove the outer leaves as they fall out to the sides so that the crown is exposed and remove side shoots if they appear. Weed regularly by drawing the soil away from around the swelling root with a hoe.
What to watch out for
Celery leaf spot, Slugs, Snails, Celery leaf miner can mainly be controlled by covering with fleece or mesh and by continually removing affected leaves.
What to do when your plants arrive
- Unpack them. Your seedlings will arrive carefully packed in bio-degradable straw, cardboard and paper. They may look a little bit bedraggled from their journey. Don’t panic – this is totally normal and they should soon perk up. Please try and unpack your plants as soon as they arrive, as every extra hour they spend in the box will add to the stress of travelling to their new home.
- Give them a drink. Having spent a day or two in the post, your new plants will be thirsty! Stand them up in some fresh water for a few minutes to make sure their roots have been thoroughly soaked before planting.
- Plant them out into their forever home! Your plants can’t wait to get their roots into the soil. Plant them out according to the instructions that will have come in the box with them. Make sure you water them in well, and give them plenty to drink until their roots have had a chance to get settled.
