Notes
'Rubenza' celosia (Celosia 'Rubenza') is an annual for cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and accents. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. 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. It sits low on the menu for deer. You can cut the stems for bouquets while they bloom.
Pairs well with Blood flower, Mister Frans dahlia, and Black-eyed Susan vine.
