Planting Tips
Celosia loves warmth and should only be planted once temperatures are consistently warm. Surface sow lightly as seeds require light for germination. Avoid overwatering young seedlings. Pinching early encourages branching and more stems. Harvest when blooms feel firm and richly coloured.
