Description
The knollensellerie forms a robust, flavorful root that is essential as a vegetable for soups, purées, or raw salads. It has a long growing period and requires a nutrient-rich, consistently moist soil to develop large roots. The foliage can be used like celery stalks.
Care instructions
Sow in February in a warm window sill, then transplant seedlings flat in mid‑May (week 20) so the root is exposed above the soil. Water abundantly and evenly; drought will keep the roots small and hollow. In late summer remove the lower leaves and the side roots at the root edge to round and smooth the root; harvest before the first hard frost.
