Care

Celosia ‘Sunday™ Bright Pink’ Care

Plant after all danger of frost in warm, well-draining soil. Water regularly during establishment, then maintain consistent moisture without allowing soil to remain soggy. Celosia performs best in full sun and intensifies in color as temperatures rise.

Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with a slow release fertilizer to support steady growth and continuous flowering.

Begin harvesting or deadheading once plumes fully color. Frequent cutting encourages branching and ongoing bloom production. For dried arrangements, cut stems at peak color and hang upside down in a dry, well-ventilated space.

Container Growing: Celosia performs well in containers placed in full sun. Use a deep pot with excellent drainage and monitor moisture closely, as container-grown plants dry out more quickly than those in the ground. Feed lightly through summer to maintain bloom production. Plants hardy in the ground may require winter protection when grown in containers in colder zones.
