First Flame™ Purple Celosia

Latin celosia plumosa

These brightly coloured flowers will be the most vibrant part of your annual garden. Deep, nearly fluorescent purple flowers adorn a 12" tall plant. This is one of our all-time favourite border plants. The First Flame variety blooms earlier than other varieties.

Growing celosia from seed is best done directly into your garden bed in late spring for July blooms. If you live in a short summer area and want to start early, we recommend using plantable peat or coir pots. Sow seeds 1/8" deep and barely cover. Use bottom heat for the first week of germination. Water with luke warm water throughout the growing process and plant into a full sun location as celosia performs poorly in shadier spots.
