Célosia with varied plume Vilmorin

Benefit:

For dry bouquets

Characteristics:

A compact plant whose flowers are very original in shape and bright colours, ranging from golden yellow to purple. These flowers are very beautiful as dried flowers because their colors remain bright for a long time.

Height: 30cm

Soil tip:

Celosies like healthy soils, rich in sun-exposed humus. They dread limestone.

Deco ideas:

Combine your celosies in your mountains with amaranths or suns. For potted or garden crops, celosies don't like competition very much, it's better to leave them alone!

The stages of sowing:

Sow under cover or inside from March to May.

At the 3-4 leaf stage, plant them in pots placed under a warm shelter.

In June, replant them in the open ground at good exposure 30-40 cm away.
