Celosia (Celosia)
Color Name: Floriosa Dark Red
There are few flowers as showy as Celosia. Floriosa Dark Red Celosia boasts striking upright spires. The flowers are beautiful fresh, but you can also dry them easily. Low maintenance and perfect in containers. Celosia flowers from April as a cheerful spring bloomer to October as a rewarding fall decor program in patio containers or in gardens.
Growing Tips: Very heat tolerant. Excellent candidate for use in landscaping, under very hot conditions. Attractive red blooms on husky plants with lush foliage.
When planting in containers, hanging baskets and window boxes, we recommend using our potting soil which is specially formulated for our plants. An application of a time release fertilizer at the time of planting will help to ensure the best possible performance. Zehr's Osmocote blend is perfect for the job. We also suggest fertilizing every two weeks during the hot summer months of June, July and August with Maxsea, which you can purchase at Zehr's. Begonias, Impatiens and most plants grown for foliage normally do not need as much fertilizer.
