Notes
'Ruby Parfait' celosia (Celosia argentea 'Ruby Parfait') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and accents. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. Red and rose blooms attract butterflies and bees. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Cut the stems to fill bouquets.
Pairs well with California Giants zinnia, Arizona Sun blanket flower, and Lantana.
