You can grow it in pots or in the ground, but it likes a rich soil, lots of feed, lots of water, outside is fine.
You're probably better off getting plug plants rather than growing from seed now.

I grew it once (self blanching)
Twas horrible ... stringy and tough.

I grow celeriac now instead, it's easier and nicer.

I would agree that it is probably too late to grow celery from seed now - I sowed mine in a heated greenhouse back at the end of Feb, and hopefully will get it planted out within the next week.
