Celosia

Celosia offers plumes, crests, and wheat-like flower spikes in saturated shades of red, orange, gold, pink, purple, and green. The long-lasting blooms bring strong shape and texture to borders, fresh bouquets, and dried arrangements.

Start after the weather has warmed, give plants full sun and good airflow, and pinch branching types when young if fuller plants are desired. Cut stems before the blooms become weathered for the best vase and drying quality.
