Notes

'Indian Summer' celosia (Celosia 'Indian Summer') is an annual for cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and accents. 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. Deer tend to pass it by. It blooms from early to late summer. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers.

Pairs well with Polka dahlia, California Giants zinnia, and Jerusalem sage.
