Notes
'Dracula' celosia (Celosia 'Dracula') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, containers, and pollinator gardens. 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 grows 12 to 24 inches tall and blooms in mixed colors in summer and again in autumn. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers. Deer rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Mystic Illusion dahlia, Blue daisy, and Hyacinth bean.
