Celosia in sunset shades feels like holding the sky at dusk in your hands. Each velvety plume shimmers in shades of warmth in rose gold, champagne, pale coral, and soft pink—each bloom a little flame of colour that dances in the breeze. Their painterly colours bring a touch of magic to the garden, while their feathery textures add whimsy to every bouquet. Perfect for dreamy arrangements or left to dazzle in the field, these blooms are pure enchantment from summer through fall.

Harvesting

Cut-flower—Harvest celosia for cut flowers when the bloom is fully developed but before the bottom florets begin to look dry, form seeds, or turn brown.The stems should feel firm and sturdy, not floppy.
Drying—Harvest celosia for drying when the flower heads are bright and fully developed but before the individual flowers at the bottom start to look dry and turn brown. For Plumed or Wheat types, aim to harvest when about 50% of the flowers are open and the rest are still tightly closed. For Crested types, wait until the comb has expanded but before the edges begin to brown.
