Celosia Fresh Look Orange

The secrets of Fresh Look's success are larger, brighter blooms; well-branched plants that give you more flowers than older varieties; a super-long season of bloom; and a terrific adaptability to just about any climate and soil! In our trial gardens, it consistently outlasts every other Celosia (by weeks, not days!), but the individual blooms are also much more eye-catching than others. The color is vivid, and the flower stems reach up to 10 inches high on neat little plants just 12 to 16 inches tall and wide! Best of all from my point of view, Fresh Look never needs deadheading! New blooms and leaves spring up all around the old ones, keeping this plant looking as fresh in its third month of bloom as it did in its third week!

The flowers are awe-inspiring, but the vigor and adaptability of this Celosia really make it a sure bet in just about any garden. It needs full sun and appreciates good garden soil, but once it gets going, Fresh Look Orange isn't about to be slowed down by heat, drought, or pests. It takes off with strong lateral branches that keep the blooms coming all summer long, and needs very little attention from you.

Celosias also make nice companions to ornamental Peppers, Floss Flowers, and Rose Mosses, among others. With months of carefree color and an easy-to-care-for nature, how can they go wrong?

Start this seed indoors in late winter, about 8 to 10 weeks before last anticipated frost. The seed germinates in about 10 days and will begin blooming about 70 to 100 days after sowing. Pkt is 100 seeds.
