The Celosia is an intriguing plant known for its unique and vibrant flowers, available in various colours and shapes. Some varieties feature spike-like flower tops, while others have shapes resembling coral or even a brain, making them fascinating to look at. This sun-loving annual is a popular choice, found in many garden centres and home gardens across the country.
Celosias are easy to grow and maintain, as long as they’re provided with a bright, sunny, and warm spot in the garden. The more sunlight they receive, the more vibrant their flowers will be. Being an annual, they need protection from early frost, and if you want to extend their growing season, bring them indoors once the cooler fall weather sets in. They will bloom continuously throughout the summer and well into the fall.
Celosias also make striking cut flowers, adding an interesting and bold element to any floral arrangement. Available in both fresh (when in season) and artificial varieties, the Celosia is a unique addition to any arrangement in your home.
