Celeriac
Apium graveolens var. rapaceum 'Rowena'
Rowena is a variety of celeriac that produces smooth, round roots with excellent flavour, texture and a good tolerance of heat.
Celeriac is best harvested in the fall, especially after a light frost. Your celeriac is mature once the bulb reaches around 3'"-5" in diameter. If stored properly, celeriac can last for months.
Celeriac is a cool-season crop and prefers spring and fall temperatures. It grows best in full sun with consistently moist, fertile, well-drained soil. Celeriac has shallow roots and does not tolerate long periods of drought. Use mulch to help conserve soil moisture and keep roots cool.
Seasonal Availability: Typically available April through June, depending on suppliers availability.

Increase watering in the heat of summer and watch for wilting or browning as signs to increase watering frequency.
