Eden Brothers Celosia Seeds

These are excellent for containers. Because they have an upright growth habit and reach about 30 inches, they work well in pots as long as you provide adequate drainage and full sun.

Scarlet Plume Celosia is prized for its longevity. The blooms hold their color exceptionally well even after being cut, and they are also one of the best varieties for drying to use in long-lasting floral displays.

They are quite easy to manage. They are drought-tolerant and adaptable to various soil conditions, including poorer soils, making them a forgiving choice for new gardeners.

Yes, they are very effective at attracting pollinators. You can expect to see bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visiting your garden throughout the summer.

Being open-pollinated and heirloom means these seeds have been naturally pollinated by insects or wind rather than controlled breeding. If you let the plants go to seed at the end of the season, you can collect and save the seeds to plant again next year, and they will grow true to the parent plant.

While you can direct sow them in the garden once the soil warms up in spring, starting them indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost can give you a head start on the 60-90 day maturity window.
