These 1,000 non-GMO heirloom seeds produce heat-loving plants that reach an impressive 36–48 inches tall, producing large, bold plumes of rich scarlet red that retain their vivid color throughout the season. Known for exceptional heat and drought tolerance, Celosia Plume Scarlet thrives in the hottest summer conditions where other flowers struggle — making it a particularly outstanding performer in Texas, the Southwest, and Southeast gardens. The striking scarlet plumes maintain their rich color when cut for fresh arrangements or dried bouquets, adding lasting beauty to any floral display weeks and months after harvest. Blooms in approximately 120 days from seed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(42, 88, 9);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination Rate: 94%. Test Date: 12\/24.

Celosia demands maximum heat and light for the most vigorous growth and deepest color intensity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Tolerates poor soil but performs best with moderate organic matter. Avoid overly rich soil — excess nitrogen reduces bloom production.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Start seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before last frost date, or direct sow outdoors after all frost risk has passed and soil temps reach 60°F+. Surface sow — celosia seeds need light to germinate. Do not cover seeds; simply press into moist soil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Space plants 12–18 inches apart for full plume development and air circulation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWatering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water regularly during establishment. Once established, celosia is notably drought-tolerant. Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings — overwatering causes root rot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFertilizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apply a balanced fertilizer at transplant.
