- Celosia is a classic bedding plant, meaning it looks best planted in groups in the ground where the color show can really be highlighted. The vibrant colors really put on a show when grown together making them great for a bed thats viewed from the distance.
- Though itll thrive in nutrient-poor soil, youll aid its growth by adding soil amendments. Well-aged cow manure, peat, and leaf compost will all promote its growth.
- Plant celosia seedling in full sun for best flowering, in compost amended soil after the last frost spacing plants about 6 to 12 inches apart. Celosia seedlings like the heat, so dont rush into the ground in early or mid May when the soil may be still cool.
- Poorly drain soils can lead to root rot, so grow celosia in raised beds or in sandy loam soils. Group tall varieties together or stake them to prevent strong winds from breaking their stems. Dont worry if the stems break, the side shoots will form and soon youll have more, but smaller, flowers. Fertilize monthly with a complete organic plant food to keep them flowering. Keep the plants well watered.
- Grow celosia with other annual flowers, such as zinnia, marigold and amaranth. You can plant the tall varieties in a cutting garden for use in arrangements and grow celosia in pots to bring indoors in fall. After a few weeks they will start looking ratty, but will be nice fall accents in a sunny window.
