Notes

Golden Triumph celosia (Celosia 'Golden Triumph (plumosa)') 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 draws butterflies and bees. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Cut the plumes for fresh bouquets.

Pairs well with Zinnia, Black Oil sunflower, and Dense blazing star.
