Good germination rate, and 30/32 survived planting out (16 at start of May, 16 at end). Growing nicely in an exposed Pennine garden; foliage is strong and roots are swelling well. Worth growing - for the price of a pack of seed, I can only buy two roots!

Didn't have any trouble germinating them and the tops grew large and healthily but the final crop was disappointingly small. They take up a lot of space so next time I'll save it for something else and just buy a few roots when I fancy cooking them.

Cannot totally agree with description of being easy to grow. Although I've never grown celeriac before, have been gardening for many years. I found germination to be very uneven. Also, very hit and miss once planted out. Will try again this year as last summer really too poor to judge properly.
