Notes

'Sunday Bright Pink' celosia (Celosia argentea 'Sunday Bright Pink') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and accents. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. Pink and green plumes open in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn, and bees and butterflies visit the blooms. Deer rarely make it their first choice.

Pairs well with Vinca, Profusion zinnia, Pineapple lily, and Diva dahlia.
