Notes
'Queen Sophia' celosia (Celosia 'Queen Sophia') 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, and butterflies and bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Hamari Gold dahlia, Laurentia, and Black-eyed Susan vine.
