Step 3: Sow the Seeds
Sow the tiny Celosia seeds on the surface of a moist seed-starting mix and gently press them into contact with the soil. Avoid covering them deeply because light can help support germination. Maintain a temperature of approximately 70–80°F (21–27°C).

Step 5: Maintain and Enjoy the Flowers
Water plants regularly, remove damaged foliage, and monitor for common garden pests. Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizer, which can encourage leafy growth at the expense of flowers. Harvest mature flower stems for fresh or dried arrangements when desired.

What is the difference between Celosia cockscomb and plume varieties?
Celosia cockscomb varieties are recognized by their unusual, crested flower heads that resemble a rooster's comb.
