Where Is Celery Best Grown

You can start celery from seed indoors or outdoors, from seedlings bought at a greenhouse, or even from a used stalk of grocery store celery. In the high North – like Alaska – celery should be a summer crop. In hot, humid areas like the American South, it makes a perfect winter crop. Elsewhere, it’s an ideal fall crop.

Why is celery grown in California?

The California celery industry grew quickly, partly because the crop was mostly marketed in winter and early spring, at which time there was no competition from other celery-producing states [2].

What month do you plant celery?

In cool spring and summer regions, plant celery in early spring. In warm spring and summer regions, plant celery in mid to late summer for harvest in late autumn or early winter.
