Notes

'White Swan' celosia (Celosia 'White Swan') is an annual for cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and accents. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. 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. Deer tend to pass it by. You can cut the blooms for fresh arrangements.

Pairs well with Mealycup sage, Blood flower, and Foxy Lady dahlia.
