Notes
'Crystal Beauty' celosia (Celosia argentea 'Crystal Beauty') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and accents. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. Its sparkling peach-to-champagne crested blooms attract butterflies and bees. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It grows fast and handles dry spells well.
Pairs well with California Giants zinnia, Arizona Sun blanket flower, and Lantana.
