Notes

'Misty Lavender' celosia (Celosia 'Misty Lavender') 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 butterflies and bees visit the flowers. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. You can cut the blooms for bouquets.

Pairs well with Profusion zinnia, Mammoth Grey Stripe sunflower, and Blue daisy.
