📅 When to Plant Celery?

Celery (also known as Sellerie) belongs to the Vegetables category and is suitable for outdoor planting from Mid Spring onwards.

Use the Growing Temperature Sum (GTS) as a guide: Celery can be safely transplanted once the local GTS has passed the threshold for Mid Spring and no frost is expected. GrowPilot.guide calculates the current GTS for your location automatically.

🗓️ Tip: Always check the 10-day weather forecast before planting outdoors. The GTS is a helpful guide but does not replace a frost check for your specific area.

❄️ Frost Sensitivity & Protection

Celery is frost-sensitive and should only be planted out after the last frost date for your area. Minimum night temperature: 8°C. Brief cold snaps below 0°C can cause damage.

🌡️ Optimal Temperatures

Celery grows best at daytime temperatures between 16°C and 26°C. Night temperatures should not fall below 8°C.

🍄 Mold & Rain Tolerance

Celery shows moderate sensitivity to mold. Take precautions during extended rain or very high humidity – good ventilation is important.

Rain sensitivity: Low – Relatively rain-tolerant – good drainage is sufficient.
