Notes

Fresh Look Red celosia (Celosia 'Fresh Look Red (plumosa)') is an annual for cut flowers, 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 draws butterflies and bees. Deer rarely make it their first choice.

Pairs well with Isabel dahlia, Hyacinth bean, and Pineapple lily.
