This lovely and easy to grow Celosia variety is a top choice for the cutting garden as well as ornamental landscape plantings. Best when direct sown, Celosia can tolerate partial shade but will really shine in full sun. Known to hold its color even after cutting and drying, Celosia Plumosa are one of the most versatile seeds we offer!
