Cockscomb seeds can be started indoors to get a jump start on the growing season. Celosia roots prefer not to be disturbed, so it's recommended to start the flower seeds in peat pots that can be transplanted right into the ground. Press the flower seeds into the soil and lightly cover. Keep the flower seeds moist. For areas with a long growing season, Celosia seeds can be started directly outdoors in a prepared seedbed. The soil must be 60F or warmer for germination to occur. Use a application of a balanced fertilizer every few weeks during the blooming season. 

Common Questions

Q

Is celosia deer resistant?

A

Celosia is rarely bothered by deer; however, if you have a lot of deer and little food they will eat it.

Q

When do I cut the flowers?

A

Snip your flowers early in the morning when they are fully bloomed. To dry them, remove the leaves and hang them in small bunches in a warm, dry location.

Q

My celosia is having a poor start and not many flowers, can you tell me what happened?

A

Celosia does not like cool wet weather or wet soil. This can delay flower production.

Q

My celosia is not growing larger, what could the problem be?

A

If your plants outgrew their small containers indoors before transplanting, they might have developed rootbound. To avoid this issue, refrain from starting seeds too soon and transfer them to larger pots before their final move to the garden.

Q

Is celosia cristata indoor or outdoor?

A

Celosia Cristata can be grown both indoors and outdoors. When grown indoors, they should be kept in a location that receives plenty of sunlight.

Q

Can celosia survive winter?

A

Celosia Cristata, being tropical plants, are sensitive to frost and freezing temperatures. In regions with colder climates, they typically wither during winter and require replanting in the spring. Yet, in USDA hardiness zones 10-11, where winters are gentler, they can endure and regrow in the subsequent spring.

Q

How long does celosia plant last?

A

Celosia Cristata, an annual plant, usually thrives for a single growing season lasting approximately 3 months. Despite this short lifespan, its vibrant flowers can retain their colorful beauty for up to 8 weeks.

Q

Can celosia be an indoor plant?

A

Celosia, particularly Celosia Cristata, can thrive as an indoor plant. When grown indoors, ensure they are placed in a sunny spot and receive the same care as they would outdoors, such as consistent watering and feeding. If natural light is insufficient, think about using a grow light to support their growth.

Q

Do celosia plants come back every year?

A

Celosia plants, like Celosia Cristata, are commonly cultivated as annuals worldwide, completing their life cycle within a single growing season and not regrowing annually. Nonetheless, in warmer regions like USDA zones 10-11, they have the potential to persist as perennials, reappearing each year.
