Tips
Celosia needs sufficient warmth to germinate.
Sow the seeds later in spring or earlier indoors at a minimum temperature of 20°C. Do not cover the seeds with soil after sowing.
How many seeds do you need per square meter?
Each packet contains enough seeds for approximately 1 square meter of flowers. This may vary depending on the variety, so take the mature size of the plants into account. A helpful tip: don’t sow all at once. Stagger your sowing to extend the flowering season and have a backup in case the first round is less successful. A single seed can grow into a full plant, so make sure to provide enough space. Store your seeds in a cool, dry place – they’ll remain viable for 2 to 3 years.
How much sun do annual flowers need?
Annuals bloom best in full sun, with at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. But the more sun – ideally more than 8 hours – the faster and more abundantly they will bloom. In shaded areas, flowering may be limited.
Planting instructions:
- Moisten the soil so the seeds adhere well.
- Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil – check the planting depth per variety on the packet or on this page.
- Use fertile, well-drained soil.
- Place the seeds in a sunny location and protect them from strong winds. Support plants if needed.
- Water regularly and remove weeds.
