Coral Collage Celosia Seeds

Coral Collage Celosia is a stunning crested celosia variety prized for its large, velvet-textured flower heads in beautiful shades of coral, salmon, rose, peach, and warm pink. The intricate flower crests resemble colorful coral reefs or sculpted velvet fans, creating an extraordinary display of texture and color in the summer garden. Long blooming, heat tolerant, and remarkably easy to grow, Coral Collage delivers months of tropical-looking beauty from midsummer until frost.

Garden Uses

Coral Collage Celosia is ideal for flower beds, borders, cottage gardens, containers, cutting gardens, and specialty landscape plantings. The unusual flower crests provide a dramatic focal point and add unique texture that contrasts beautifully with both fine-textured foliage and traditional flowering annuals.

The warm coral and salmon tones blend beautifully with marigolds, zinnias, salvias, gomphrena, ornamental grasses, and silver-foliaged plants. The blooms are equally valuable as fresh-cut flowers and dried specimens for long-lasting floral arrangements.

Growing Information

Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last expected frost or sow outdoors after the soil has warmed. Seeds typically germinate within 7 to 14 days when temperatures remain between 70° and 80°F.

Plants thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, celosias tolerate heat, humidity, and brief dry periods exceptionally well. Moderate watering and removal of damaged blooms help maintain peak appearance throughout the growing season.

Coral Collage generally reaches 12 to 18 inches in height and develops sturdy stems that support the large crested flower heads. Flowering continues steadily from summer until frost.
