Notes

'Rudbeckia triloba' celosia (Celosia 'Rudbeckia triloba') is an annual for cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and bold 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. It blooms from early to late summer and draws butterflies and bees. Deer tend to pass it by.

Pairs well with Mister Frans dahlia, Trailing lantana, and Hyacinth bean.
