How to grow
How To Grow Celosia From Seed: Grow in rich to average well-drained soil in full sun. Wheat Celosia is grown from very fine flower seeds. The Celosia seeds can be directly sown into your flower garden or seeded indoors for transplanting later.
If planting outdoors, sow after the soil has begun to warm in the spring. We recommend starting them indoors 4 - 6 weeks before the last frost date for your area. The flower seeds need to stay moist and require warm soil to germinate.
- Sowing Rate: 3 - 5 seeds per plant
