Known as Woolflower or Plume Plant, Celosia flowers are erect, plume-like spikes of little flowers. This salmon color is especially beautiful and eye-catching.

Excellent for cutting

Plume Plants are an annual, but they will actually grow as perennials in frost-free zones. Woodflowers are excellent for cutting, and they dry and preserve well.

How to grow

How To Grow Celosia From Seed: Celosia seeds are very tiny. For areas with a long growing season, Plume Plant 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 Plume Plant seeds 4- 6 weeks before the last expected frost. Press the Celosia 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.
