The two examples offer dependable blooms for splendid hues in the garden. They are warm cherishing and are to some degree dry spell tolerant. Full sun areas enable cockscomb Celosia to become taller.

Squeezing back the principal sprout on these blossoms can cause fanning and a more plenteous show of blooms on every cockscomb plant. Plant seedlings into rich, well depleting soil that has warmed in pre-summer. Seedlings might be developed inside or acquired. Those living in warm zones may sow the little seeds specifically into the blossom bed.
