Celosia Kosmo Cherry Seeds - Celosia, 20 seeds

Quantity: 20 Seeds / pack

Kosmo Cherry is a plume-type celosia with dense, flame-like spikes in cherry red over fresh green foliage. It blooms from summer into fall, and the spikes dry well for arrangements. Start early indoors — celosia dislikes root disturbance, so individual cells or peat pots work best.

How to grow Celosia Kosmo Cherry seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost.
• Outdoors: Direct sow after the last frost, once nights are reliably warm.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining seed-starting mix
• Humidity dome or clear plastic cover
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow shallowly, about 1/8 inch deep, or press onto the surface; light is required for germination.
• Use individual pots or cells — celosia resents root disturbance.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Light is required for germination; supplemental lighting is not necessary.
• Temperature: 70-77°F (21-25°C).
• Humidity: A humidity dome or plastic cover helps hold moisture; remove it at emergence.

Germination

• Germination typically takes 7-15 days.
• Let the surface dry slightly between waterings to avoid damping off.

Transplanting

• Transplant after all frost danger, spacing plants 8-12 inches apart.
• Avoid chilling young plants, which can trigger premature flowering.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun.
• Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry; avoid waterlogged soil.
• Fertilizer: Light feeding during the season is enough.
• Deadhead spent plumes to encourage more blooms.

Bloom Time:

Summer into fall; plants flower about 3 months after the seeds germinate.
