Notes

'Cherry Brandy' celosia (Celosia 'Cherry Brandy') is an annual for cut flower beds, pollinator gardens, and accents. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy or loamy soil. It blooms from early to late summer, and butterflies and bees visit the flowers. Deer rarely make it their first choice. You can cut stems for bouquets all season.

Pairs well with Hawaii dahlia, Black Star gladiolus, and Laurentia.
