Adored for its fascinated red flowers, Twisted Red Celosia’s velvety, ruby blossoms are twisted with deep curly edges. It’s fantastic in mixed containers or on their own. Twisted makes a long-lasting cut and dried flower. Plants grow 20″ tall and 14″ wide.Plant Twisted Red Celosia in full sun in good potting soil or in the garden with soil that has been amended with organic matter.
Immediately after planting them, water them generously to settle the soil around the roots. A 3-inch layer of organic mulch can be spread around them to control weeds and help maintain moisture levels. Water them as often as necessary to keep the soil consistently moist.
Fertilizer may not be necessary. If the plants seem to be growing slowly, apply water-soluble fertilizer with a 3-1-2 ratio every two weeks or use a slow-release granular fertilizer.
Celosias will grow in nutrient-poor, sandy soil but thrive and bloom more profusely in soil that contains high levels of organic matter. Soil pH levels between 6 and 6.5 are best.
Using clippers sanitized with rubbing alcohol, remove the flowers as they fade to promote more flowers.
Celosia can be planted in the garden in the spring when temperatures will remain above 60 degrees Fahrenheit. They will be damaged if the temperature drops lower than that.
