Notes
'Celway Terracotta' celosia (Celosia argentea 'Celway Terracotta') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and accents. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. The blooms show a shade between rose gold and copper, and butterflies and bees visit them. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It tolerates drought and stays 2 to 4 inches tall.
Pairs well with Arizona Sun blanket flower, California Giants zinnia, and Hyacinth bean.
