Celeriac 'Mars' produces large, uniform roots from upright plants that hold themselves well in the soil, resulting in less rain splash and better resistance to celery leaf spot. This modern breed boasts creamy-white flesh that remains firm despite the large size of the roots. Ideal for making homemade coleslaw – simply grate and enjoy the crunchy texture and subtle celery-like taste. After harvesting its roots from October to November, celeriac ‘Mars’ stores well but can be left in the ground over winter if covered with a 15cm (6") layer of straw for protection. Height: 30cm (12"). Spread: 40cm (16").

1 Packet (150 Seeds) (KB9798)
Sow seeds from February to April 3mm (1/8in) deep in a good seed compost. Germination takes 21-25 days at 20-25C (70-75F). Sealing in a polythene bag after sowing is helpful. Lower the temperature after germination.
When large enough to handle, transplant the seedlings individually into 7cm (3in) pots or modules. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions and plant out in June 30-35cm (12-15in) apart in full sun and well drained soil.
Keep well watered especially in dry spells. Hoe regularly and remove any side shoots which may form. Harvest the roots in October-November. In late November lift any remaining and store in damp sand in a cool dry place for winter use.
