Quantity: 20 Seeds / pack

Flamingo Feather Celosia (Celosia spicata) is a wheat-type celosia with soft, feathery pink plumes that rise like flames above green foliage. The plumes keep their color beautifully when dried, making them a favorite for everlasting arrangements. Sow indoors ahead of spring; celosia loves heat and will not tolerate cold soil.

Why choose our seeds?

• Soft, feathery pink plumes with a unique wheat-like texture
• Excellent dried flowers; plumes hold their color in arrangements
• Heat-loving and easy; blooms for months in full sun

How to grow Flamingo Feather Celosia seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Sow 6-8 weeks before your last frost; celosia seedlings are cold-sensitive.
• Outdoors: Direct sow only after nights are reliably warm.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots
• Well-draining seed-starting mix
• Clear plastic dome or wrap to hold humidity
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow on the surface of the mix and press in gently; the seeds need light to germinate, so do not cover them.
• Mist to settle the seeds and keep the surface moist.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Light is required; do not bury the seeds.
• Temperature: 72-80°F (22-27°C).

Germination

• Seeds germinate in 8-14 days at warm temperatures.
• Grow seedlings on in strong light and warm conditions.

Transplanting

• Plant out only after all danger of frost and when nights stay warm, spacing plants 10-12 inches apart.
• Harden off gradually; cold checks the plants' growth.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun and heat for the best plumes.
• Water: Keep the soil evenly moist; do not let plants dry out.
• Fertilizer: Feed lightly through the season for the fullest plumes.
• Cut plumes for drying when they are fully colored but before seeds set.
