How to Grow Tendercrisp Celery Seeds
Start seeds indoors 10–12 weeks before your last frost date or 8–10 weeks before a fall planting.
Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and fertile, moisture-retentive, well-drained soil.

Keep the soil consistently moist throughout germination.
Maintain soil temperatures between 65–75°F for best germination.
Seeds typically germinate within 14–21 days.
Harden off seedlings before transplanting outdoors.
