How to Grow and Care for Celosia Flowers

10/17/2017

0 Comments

Celosia are noted for their brilliant "rooster comb" plumes. Celosia makes a very showy, unusual display in borders and as edging. While the brilliant reds are by far the most popular color, Celosia, or Cockscomb, also come in yellow, orange, crimson, rose, and purple flowers. Celosia are wonderful for bouquets, fresh or dried. To dry these flowers, hang them upside down in a cool dark, and dry place, for about two months.

Other Names:
 Celosia are also called Cockscomb and Woolflowers.
Plant Height: up to 30"

​Plant Propagation:
Celosia are grown from very fine seeds. They can be directly seeded into your flower garden or seeded indoors for transplanting later. If planting outdoors, sow Celosia seeds after the soil has begun to warm in the spring. We recommend starting them indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date for your area. Seeds need to stay moist, and require warm soil to germinate.

Sow seeds early in the season and cover lightly with 1/8" of fine soil. Water thoroughly and keep soil moist.
Days to Germination: 10-15
