Texas Plume is a variety of celosia that creates unusual flower heads in a much coarser format than crested celosia. Has a similar appearance to wheat, but in vivid colors.

Loosen enriched garden soil down to a 6″ depth. When soil is consistently 70 degrees (for zone 6-7 usually June 1st) scatter seeds on surface and cover very lightly with sand, fine vermiculite, or screened peat as Celosia needs sunlight to germinate. Once they are about 2″ tall thin to at least 6″ spacing. We have also had luck transplanting stems at this height. You can also start these early in pots or trays and transplant in late spring.
