Description - Pink celosia is a striking, heat-loving annual with feathery, chartreuse-to-lemon-green blooms. Prized as a vibrant bouquet filler, it thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. The more you trim the blooms for arrangements, the more side shoots the plant will produce.
To dry, cut the stems and hang them upside down.

If collecting the seed if pollinated by similar type the plant should reproduce true to type.
