The seeds were taken from the cockscombs shown in the photos. These were all 'volunteers'. Celosias cannot tolerate frost, so they grow as annuals in zones that freeze over. However, they can grow as perennials in the zones with warmer temperatures. Gardeners in most growing zones prefer to grow celosia as annuals and simply replant them each year for long lasting blooms. Celosia species do reseed, and they should be sited in a location where their reappearance every year is not unwanted. To prevent reseeding, you can cut off the blooms before seeds appear. Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before your Average Last Spring Frost. Be sure to keep them in a warm place as they are growing. They can be transplanted out after the threat of frost. The seeds can also be direct sowed into the garden after the threat of frost has passed. Celosia provide abundant blooms all season long.
