Additional Information
Celosia
Annual. A prolific and striking display en masse, as a border, or in containers. Excellent cutflower for fresh and everlasting arrangements. Attractive to a wide array of pollinators as well as other “good” garden bugs. From the Greek keleos, ‘blazing,’ a reference to their brilliance. Commonly appear in three groups, cristata (crested, fancifully known as brains), plumosa (plumed) and spicata (with spikes or pointed). All share blazing colors, furry textures and unusual shapes. Known as ji quan hua in China where both seeds and flowers are used medicinally for blood diseases, bleeding and urinary tract infections.
Culture: Thrives in hot dry weather. Prefers full sun and rich soil. Light is required for germination. Start indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. Should germinate within 10 days at 70–85 ̊. When seedlings are 4–6", pinch them back to encourage branching. Blooms July through frost.
Flowers
All flower seeds are open-pollinated except where noted.
Days in parentheses after a variety indicate days to first bloom.
