Celery Growing Season

Apium graveolens L.

The growing season of celery is measured in days from full emergence to technical maturity and varies depending on the variety: from 50–100 days for leaf celery to 120–240 days for celeriac.

In the reference 9 varieties crop Celery, where this is mentioned in the description.

The duration of the growing season varies significantly depending on the variety of the crop. Leaf celery matures in 50–100 days, while stalk (celery) matures, on average, in 140–180 days. Celeriac is the latest-maturing type: early varieties reach maturity in 120–160 days, mid-season varieties in 160–180 days, and late varieties in 180–240 days.

The long development period necessitates a transplant method of cultivation, where seeds are sown for seedlings 70–90 days before planting in the ground. It is important to avoid exposure to temperatures below +10 °C during the early stages, as this triggers premature bolting and reduces product quality.
