Asian Garden Celosia

Tall sturdy stalks are topped by spikes of flowers and bracts ranging from light pink on the lower flowers to a brilliant flaming fuchsia-pink at the top. Celosias grown and flower best in full sun and average soils with moderate fertilization and supplemental water during droughts. The flowers attract a number of pollinator insects throughout the summer while songbirds are attracted to the small black seeds in fall. This is an excellent cultivar for cutting and using either in fresh or dried arrangements.
