Description
Vintage Rose is a wonderfully fancy variety. The velvety-soft, dusky pink are plumes perfect for adding texture to fresh or dried arrangements. The flower heads are mostly silvery pink with a mix of green and deep pink stems. A great variety to try for late summer and early autumn harvests.
If drying celosia, harvest before seeds have formed in small bunches and hang upside down in a well-ventilated area.
Sow: Mar-May undercover
Plant: 30-40cm apart. Wait until the risk of frost has passed.
Harvest: Jul-Sep
Vase: Strip foliage, expect 7 day vase life.
Notes: Use fresh or dried.
Celosia argentea
