Celosias can bring distinction to your borders and edges. When situated in mass plantings, they will bring texture and colors to your gardens from summer into autumn. They are great for a cutting garden or as an accent plant. They do well in pots, making them a great addition to a patio garden.
They love strong sun. While they are drought-tolerant once established, give them a worthy welcoming with moist soil and compost.
Celosias provide lasting pleasure when dried, which is easily accomplished by picking them before the flowers are fully opened, and hanging them upside down in a cool, dark place.
Those of you who hesitate to plant annuals due to their shorter life spans, take note: celosias bring texture, color and longevity, all in one plant!
