Large Smooth Prague Celeriac
Growing Large Smooth Prague Celeriac
‘Large Smooth Prague’ is a classic open-pollinated celeriac grown for its large, rounded roots and rich, earthy flavor. Also known as turnip-rooted celery, it produces pale, baseball-sized roots with a dense, flavorful interior that adds depth to cool-season meals. Its distinctive celery-like taste makes it a versatile choice for hearty cooking, and the roots store well through winter.
Start ‘Large Smooth Prague’ seeds indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep, space plants about 18 inches apart, and grow in full sun. This cold-tolerant variety can also be grown successfully in containers with enough room for the roots to develop.
Ready to harvest in about 110 days, begin checking the roots as they approach maturity and lift them once they reach your preferred size while they are still firm and tender.
Earthy, savory, and versatile, ‘Large Smooth Prague’ is excellent in soups, stews, mashed dishes, alongside braised meats, and for winter storage.
