Notes
'Small-Leaved Gum' celosia (Celosia 'Small-Leaved Gum') is an annual for cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and 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 butterflies and bees visit the flowers. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Profusion zinnia, Mammoth Grey Stripe sunflower, Blackfoot daisy, and Black Star gladiolus.
