Number of seeds

Celosia Pampas Plume is a spectacular annual plant, renowned for its feathery, airy inflorescences that resemble small, vegetal flames. Rising above dense foliage, they bring verticality, texture, and color to summer gardens.

Derived from ornamental celosias long cultivated in warm climates, this variety is distinguished by its compact, well-branched habit and the delicate nature of its panicles. Flowering is continuous and abundant when conditions are favorable, providing a constant display from early summer until the first cooler weather.

In the garden, Pampas Plume thrives in warmth, full sun, and well-drained soil. It integrates easily into flower beds, decorative vegetable gardens, and containers, where it quickly becomes a focal point. Undemanding once established, it responds well to steady growth without excessive moisture.

• Sowing: Easy germination

• Cultivation: Easy plant to grow

• Growing season: Warm season

• Growth: Summer growth

Note: Sow in well-warmed soil and avoid overwatering initially. Insufficient drainage can hinder the vigor of young plants.

Some celosia species are consumed as leafy vegetables in various cultures, but Pampas Plume is cultivated primarily for its ornamental value. It is prized for its long-lasting blooms and visual impact rather than for culinary use.
