How to grow Century Mix Celosia seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start seeds 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Celosia dislikes cold soil, so wait until it is warm.
• Outdoors: Direct sow after the last frost, when nights are reliably warm.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining potting mix
• Clear plastic wrap or a humidity dome
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow on the surface of moist seed-starting mix — do not cover the seeds, they need light to germinate
• Keep the medium evenly moist; moderate light helps prevent weak, stretched seedlings

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright light from sowing onward
• Temperature: 70-75°F (21-24°C)
• Humidity: Cover lightly until sprouts appear, then remove the cover

Germination

• Expect germination in 7-10 days
• Grow seedlings warm and bright; avoid letting them sit in cold, wet mix

Transplanting

• Transplant after all frost danger has passed and the soil is warm
• Handle seedlings gently — celosia dislikes root disturbance
• Space plants 8-12 inches apart

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun for the strongest color and sturdiest stems
• Water: Water regularly; avoid soggy soil
• Fertilizer: A balanced feed every few weeks supports continuous blooming
• Deadhead spent plumes to encourage more flowers

Bloom Time:

Summer through fall.
