Notes

Castle Pink celosia (Celosia 'Castle Pink (plumosa)') is an annual for cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and accents. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy or loamy soil. It blooms from early to late summer. It sits low on the menu for deer. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers.

Pairs well with Laurentia, Hawaii dahlia, and Pineapple lily.
