Celeriac 'Gabrio' is distinguished by its mild and slightly nutty flavour, ideal for enriching salads, purees, soups and stir-fried dishes. It is suitable for both fresh consumption and long-term storage, retaining all its taste quality.
For best results, sow seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost, placing them lightly on the surface in moist potting soil. Maintain a constant temperature of 65 to 72°F (18 to 22°C) to encourage germination in 7 to 14 days. Transplant seedlings after the last frost, spacing them 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm) apart to allow for good root development.
This celeriac thrives in rich, well-drained soils and full sun exposure. Provide regular irrigation to maintain soil moisture and promote healthy growth. Harvest the roots in the fall, before the first frost, and store them in a cool, dry place to prolong their shelf life.
Celeriac 'Gabrio' is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a hardy, productive and versatile crop in the kitchen, perfect for enhancing your seasonal recipes.
