Planting & Care

Sow Plumed Celosia seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface; do not cover completely as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist and warm (70-80°F) for best results. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them to their final location, spacing 8-12 inches apart.

Celosia prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid overwatering. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly if soil is poor. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. Enjoy the unique crested blooms in your garden or cut them for long-lasting arrangements.
