Description
So joyful and so easy to grow, Flamingo Plume sends dozens of aptly-named spires straight to the sky on long, strong stems ideal for both fresh and dry bouquets. Like so many flowers, the more you harvest, the more you’ll continue to harvest. The first flush of Flamingo Plume are often over four inches tall, gradually getting smaller with each successive harvest. From boutonnieres and garlic braids to autumn wreaths and winter bouquets, we can’t wait to see how you weave celosia into all the seasons!
For bouquets, harvest celosia at peak blossom. For straight stems in dry arrangements, hang celosia upside down to dry for two weeks.
At Fruition, we sow celosia indoors in
soil blocks four weeks before final frost, transplanting out after final frost.
