2 years ago I had great success with my little crop of celosia. Started from seed in the greenhouse, it struggled to take off and I lost even more when I planted it into The Pickery. I didn’t give up and with plenty of watering was able to encourage several large heads to form. What a spectacular color burst in the garden.
Last years crop was a dismal failure, with stems barely reaching 2 feet tall. What flowers did form were very small. Digging back in the archived images from the garden reminded me that I should give these a try–again!
So beautiful! Brings back memories of my great grandmother’s garden.
Those flowers are gorgeous! Don’t give up! We all have bad years.
WOWIE, stunning!. I hope you have luck. I’ve never sent so much in one bundle.
Celosia is such a great plant – I love all forms both in the garden and dried. It holds its color and lasts well. I hope you have success with it this year.
I had them last year in my garden – so beautiful coloured!!
Amazing …will have to research this as I need to know if I can grow it.
I need to seed some of these again. They are stunning.
That is the prettiest celosia that I have seen! I may need to give it a try.
My sisters grows them in her garden every year – I’m always impressed with the size of the flower heads!
