'Flamma Orange' plume celosia with bright orange feathery flowers photographed in the Backyard Farmer Display Garden in August 2025.
Celosia plumosa is a warm-season annual prized for its bold, upright flower plumes and vibrant color palette that persists from early summer until frost. Best grown in full sun with evenly moist, well-drained soil, plume celosia thrives in heat and humidity and performs reliably during periods of summer stress. Its architectural form makes it a strong accent in mass plantings and containers, while its long-lasting blooms are well suited for fresh and dried floral arrangements.
