Flamingo Feather Celosia (Celosia argentea var. spicata) sends up tall, feathery plumes that open rosy pink and fade to silvery blush, catching light like brushed velvet. Plants branch freely to 24–36" and flower for weeks in heat and humidity, drawing bees and small pollinators while holding their shape in borders, raised beds, and patio containers. Cut the stems fresh for long-lasting bouquets or hang to dry—plumes keep their color beautifully for winter arrangements. Tough, generous, and elegant, Flamingo Feather earns its spot by giving steady color, armloads of stems, and a touch of soft motion every time the wind moves.

Start seed indoors 6-8 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-75°F. Cover soil very lightly as seeds require light to germinate. Harden off and transplant to the garden 1-2 weeks after your average last frost date. Prefers well-drained, fertile soil high in organic matter. Or, plant seeds directly in the garden after average last frost date for locations with a long growing season. Excellent for both fresh and dried cut flowers.
