Triple-tested seed qualityRegular quality and germination checks support every packet.

We regularly test seed quality and germination as lots move through storage and packing. We stand behind the seed we send and want customers to contact us when a packet does not perform as reasonably expected.

1-year seed warrantyCoverage begins on the date of purchase.

When properly stored, planted, and cared for, we guarantee reasonable germination and true-to-type growth for one year from the date of purchase. Conditions outside our control—including extreme weather, pests, unsuitable storage, and gardener error—are excluded. Contact us when something is not right so we can review the situation and work toward a replacement, refund, or another fair resolution.

Non-GMO / BE seed policyWe do not buy or sell genetically engineered or bioengineered seed.

Every seed variety we sell is non-GMO.

USDA’s National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard defines bioengineered foods as containing detectable genetic material modified through in vitro recombinant DNA methods in ways not achievable through conventional breeding or found in nature.

  • Hybrid means parent lines were conventionally crossed; hybrid does not mean GMO.
  • Heirloom and open-pollinated describe how a variety is maintained and reproduced.
  • Organic certification is separate and is shown only when verified for the individual product.

About this variety

Celeriac Seeds – Giant Prague Celeriac

Giant Prague celeriac seeds produce a classic heirloom root celery prized for large, knobby roots, creamy ivory flesh, and a mild celery flavor that deepens with cooking. This old-world variety has long been valued in European kitchens for its reliability, storage quality, and rich culinary versatility.

Plants grown from Giant Prague celeriac seeds form sturdy plants 12–18 inches tall and require a long, cool growing season, maturing in approximately 120–179 days. The rounded roots develop dense, aromatic flesh that becomes especially smooth and flavorful when roasted, simmered, or puréed. Roots store exceptionally well through winter when properly cured.

Giant Prague celeriac seeds are ideal for soups, stews, gratins, roasts, and traditional root vegetable dishes. The flavor is subtle and savory rather than sharp, making it well suited for both simple preparations and refined cooking.

An heirloom originating in the Czech Republic in the 19th century, Giant Prague celeriac seeds remain a standard for growers seeking dependable yields, excellent storage, and classic celeriac flavor from garden to table.
