Flamma Orange is an annual offering late spring through fall interest, typically blooming until first frost. Blooming early, uniformly, and consistently, the plant creates a stunning display of 5-inch, feathery, fiery orange plumes that stay bright without fading and stand up to heavy rain.
Borne on erect stems, the long-lasting flowers are excellent for attracting pollinators to the garden and for floral arrangements, fresh cut or dried. For best results, harvest mature blooms in the morning after the dew has evaporated.
A Celosia argentea (Plumosa Group), commonly called feather celosia, plumed celosia, or feathered amaranth, Flamma Orange has a compact, bushy habit with great branching and light green foliage.
Shown to best effect massed or grouped, the plants offer sweeps of long-lasting color, great for edging in beds and borders, but they are also a great option for containers and window boxes.
Easy to grow, celosia prefer humusy, nutrient rich, consistently moist, well-drained soil. The plants are heat, humidity, and drought tolerant once established.
It's going to be another beautiful spring in your garden! We are delighted to celebrate 150 years of gardening friendship with you! "Your success and pleasure are more to Park than your money." The motto of our founder, George W. Park, has been the inspiration for Park Seed Company ever since its 1868 founding at the kitchen table of a 15-year-old boy who hoped to sell seeds from his own garden for a little pocket money. Mr. Park considered gardening a spiritual delight as well as a useful and pleasant activity. In early catalogs, he encouraged gardeners to form clubs and swap seeds, even printing nature poetry they had written. His catalogs united gardeners in remote rural areas, and by 1918, Park Seed Company had 180,000 customers. Today our gardeners number in the millions, yet we still adhere to Mr. Park's original motto. We may be connecting online through social media rather than handwritten letters, but the spirit and the result is the same: bringing the joys of gardening to as many people as possible.
