Collecting Celosia Seeds. These small birds will land on the bloom and hang upside down to eat the seeds. It s fun to collect seeds and see what we can get.
Process early by planting seeds inside. Then around the time that the flower head starts to droop or when it starts to look dirty i ll check it by just running my thumb along the underside of the bloom. I have some flower heads that are drying up and i see little white things that must be the seeds.

If it is planted in poorly drained soil it may suffer from root rot. You might also like. Seeds from plume and wheat celosia types can be harvested in a similar fashion. Start celosia seeds 6 to 8 weeks before your average last frost date by filling small peat pots with premoistened seedstarting mix.
