Key Features:

  • Variety: This 6-pack includes a mix of popular celosia varieties such as Bright Sparks™ Mix and Dracula Celosia, featuring colors ranging from bright yellows and scarlets to deep burgundies.
  • Height: Plants typically reach heights between 12 to 24 inches, making them suitable for borders, beds, or container gardening.
  • Sun Requirements: Celosias thrive in full sun conditions, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
  • Soil Preference: They prefer well-drained, nutrient-rich soil but can tolerate poor soil conditions and dry periods once established.
  • Pollinator Friendly: The vibrant blooms attract bees and other pollinators, enhancing biodiversity in your garden.
  • Cut Flower Use: Ideal for fresh bouquets or dried arrangements; celosias retain their color even when dried.

Growing Instructions:

  1. Transplanting: Start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date or sow directly outdoors after all danger of frost has passed. Ensure seedlings have at least two sets of true leaves before transplanting.
  2. Spacing: Space plants about 8 to 10 inches apart to allow for optimal growth and airflow.
  3. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist during germination (10 to 15 days) and water thoroughly after transplanting.
  4. Fertilization: Apply a general-purpose fertilizer once or twice a month to promote healthy growth.
