Notes

Red Fox celosia (Celosia 'Red Fox (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. It sits low on the menu for deer.

Pairs well with Mammoth sunflower, Blanket flower, and Lemon grass.
