Notes
'Prince Rose' celosia (Celosia argentea 'Prince Rose') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and accents. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. The dark magenta flowers attract butterflies and bees. It sits low on the menu for deer. This fast grower also tolerates drought.
Pairs well with California Giants zinnia, Chocolate daisy, and Hyacinth bean.
