When to plant celeriac in Wrocław

The Wrocław dates are calculated from the observed last spring frost — a 2016–2025 mean of 16 April — rather than from a latitude estimate or a national calendar. The frost-free season here averages 204 days.

Last spring frost: 16 April · latest 1 May

First autumn frost: 6 November · earliest 8 Oct

Frost-free season: 204 days · 10 complete years

These come from the ERA5 reanalysis on a roughly 9 km grid, so they describe the area rather than your plot. A hollow, a frost pocket or an exposed site regularly runs several degrees colder, so use the cautious date for a decision you cannot undo.

The year in Wrocław

What can move the date

It needs a long season and constantly moist, rich soil — it will not swell in a dry summer. Rub off side roots and lower leaves in late summer to get a clean, round bulb.

Final spacing: 30 × 40 cm. Soil: pH 6–7.

Direct-sow only once the soil holds 10°C or more — soil temperature decides germination, not the date.
