How to grow
How To Grow Celosia From Seed: Plume Plant seeds are very tiny. For areas with a long growing season, Celosia flower seed can be directly sown into your flower garden in prepared soil after frost season has passed.
For cooler areas with shorter growing seasons, start the Celosia seeds 4- 6 weeks before the last expected frost. Press the Feathered Amaranth seeds into the soil but do not cover them. The flower seeds need to stay moist, and require warm soil to germinate. Pinch back the early blooms to encourage more branching.

Flower Specifications
Plume Plants are often used in large-scale plantings in public areas because they require so little attention yet give such a lovely display. Celosia flowers appear in summer and last through autumn, but they are frost tender.
