Celosia 'Fresh Look' Plumed Mix Seeds

Fiery Red, Orange & Gold Plumes | Bold Cutting Garden Feature | Fresh or Dried

A true plumed (feathered) celosia — not the shorter cockscomb type — bred for real cutting-garden stem length, in a warm mix of red, orange, and gold. Dark bronze-red foliage adds interest even before the blooms open, and this heat-loving variety only gets better as summer really turns on.

How to Grow
Start indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost, or direct sow once soil is reliably warm — celosia is very frost- and cold-sensitive. Press seed onto the soil surface rather than burying it, and keep it consistently moist until germination, then let it dry slightly between waterings once established. Pinch young plants at 6–8 inches tall for a bushier, more productive habit. Harvest plumes just as they fully color for the best fresh vase life, or hang to dry for everlasting arrangements.

Good to Know
Celosia genuinely gets better in the heat of midsummer — don't be discouraged by slow early growth in cool spring soil. Because this is a mixed-color seed lot, expect a range of warm tones from bloom to bloom rather than one uniform shade.
