Its tall, airy stems and delicate feathery plumes bring a light, meadow-like quality to the cutting garden and border, and it is one of the most sought-after flowers for both fresh and dried arrangements. Once you discover it, it becomes an indispensable part of the summer garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Gardeners Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌸 \u003cstrong\u003eSlender wheat-like spires in soft pink and silver\u003c\/strong\u003e — elegant and refined, a world away from the bolder crested celosias\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✂️ \u003cstrong\u003eOutstanding cut and dried flower\u003c\/strong\u003e — long-stemmed and beautiful fresh, and dries to a lasting silvery-pink perfection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e📏 \u003cstrong\u003eGrows 60–90 cm tall\u003c\/strong\u003e — ideal for cutting gardens, mixed borders, and cottage-style beds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🐝 \u003cstrong\u003eAttracts bees and butterflies\u003c\/strong\u003e — a lovely nectar source through the summer months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌱 \u003cstrong\u003eEasy to grow from seed\u003c\/strong\u003e — fast-growing and rewarding in warm summer conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Tips for New Zealand\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow in spring once soil has thoroughly warmed — Celosia loves heat and will sulk in cold conditions. Sow on the surface of moist seed-raising mix as light aids germination. Transplant seedlings to 25–30 cm apart in a sunny, sheltered position with fertile, well-drained soil. Water regularly but avoid waterlogging. Performs best in NZ's warmer regions including Northland, Auckland, Bay of Plenty, Hawke's Bay, and Nelson, but will thrive anywhere with a warm, sunny summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Packet\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach packet contains \u003cstrong\u003e15 seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e of Celosia Flamingo Flower (\u003cem\u003eCelosia spicata\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chbotanics Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45029030166597,"sku":null,"price":4.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/2974\/5733\/files\/image_51ee40c4-d46f-4cee-8e26-890ac1698189.png?v=1780735396","url":"https:\/\/chbotanics.co.nz\/products\/celosia-flamingo-flower-seeds","provider":"Chbotanics Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
