How to grow
How To Grow Celosia From Seed: 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. We recommend starting them indoors 4 - 6 weeks before the last frost date for your area.
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. 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 after starting the fine flower seeds.
