Notes
'Flamingo Feather' celosia (Celosia argentea 'Flamingo Feather') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, containers, and accents. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms. Deer tend to pass it by. It grows fast, stands 24 to 36 inches tall, and tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Profusion Double Deep Salmon zinnia, Big Smile sunflower, and Red fescue.
