Notes
Century Mixed celosia (Celosia 'Century Mixed (plumosa)') is an annual for cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and accents. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy or loamy soil. It blooms from early to late summer and draws butterflies and bees. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Cut the plumes for fresh bouquets.
Pairs well with Profusion zinnia, Hamari Gold dahlia, and Snail vine.
