Notes

'Sahara' celosia (Celosia 'Sahara') is an annual for cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and accents. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. 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.

Pairs well with Vinca, Mister Frans dahlia, and Hyacinth bean.
