Celeriac 'Mars'

Celeriac 'Mars' is a highly regarded modern cultivar, celebrated for producing uniform, smooth-skinned, good-sized roots with a clean, nutty-celery flavour. This root vegetable forms a sturdy, fleshy 'bulb' just above the soil line and is known for its reliability and vigorous growth. Plants typically reach 30-40cm in height and spread. It thrives in a sunny position with deep, fertile, moisture-retentive soil and benefits from consistent watering, especially in dry periods. Harvest usually occurs from late summer into autumn in the UK, and 'Mars' offers good storage potential, allowing enjoyment throughout winter.
