The annual plant grows 20-30 inches (50-70 cm) high. The flowers are collected in large scallop inflorescences of various bright colors. Used for decorations of flower beds and bouquets. Planting instructions: You can start celosia indoors four weeks before the last frost. Spread the seeds in a tray filled with high-quality potting mix. Cover the seeds with ¼ inch (0.5 cm) potting soil. Celosia doesn’t need light to germinate and can actually be hindered by it. Mist the soil with water and cover the tray with plastic wrap. Mist the soil every day as needed to keep it moist. Celosia seeds will not germinate if they dry out, so this point is important. Store the seeds in a location with daytime temperatures between 80 and 85 degrees (25-30 С), and nighttime temperatures between 65 to 70 degrees (15-20 С). Once the plants stand 4 inches (10 cm) tall, they can be moved outdoors. Alternatively, if you live in a mild climate, you can sow celosia directly in the garden. Celosia grows quickly under the right conditions, namely consistently moist, but not soggy, soil. Taller plants might need staking. Apply a balanced fertilizer every six weeks throughout the growing season, especially if growth slows.
