Celosia, Nana Glitter Scarlet

Celosia, commonly known as “woolflowers,” are members of the amaranth family. They are edible ornamentals you can add to your garden, and have a taste not unlike spinach. Celosia also contains those minerals and vitamins commonly found in deep-hued leafy greens. Celosia is easy to grow from flower seed, and these annuals make a spectacular display for your garden all summer long. This dwarf Celosia plant is lovely in the front of the sunny flower bed or in containers on a sunny deck. Celosia Plumosa has several common names such as Feathered Amaranth, Plume Plant, and Woolflower.

Planting Instructions:
Celosia seeds can be directly sown into your flower garden or seeded indoors for transplanting later. If planting outdoors, sow Woolflower seeds after the soil has begun to warm in the spring. The flower seeds need to stay moist and require warm soil to germinate. Sow Celosia seeds early in the season and press them down into the soil, but do not cover them at a rate of 3-4 seeds per plant. Water thoroughly and keep the soil moist. Woolflower plants like full sun, and they perform their best when grown in rich soil with lots of organic matter added to the soil. They are warm weather plants and take about 90 days to flower.
