Notes
'Flame of Fire' celosia (Celosia 'Flame of Fire') 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 butterflies and bees visit the flowers. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Zinnia, Black Oil sunflower, Dense blazing star, and Lantana.
