Common Name(s): Crested cockscomb Botanical Name: Celosia cristata Cultivar: Bombay Pink Type: Annual/Tender Perennial Hardiness: Zones 10-12 Light Requirements: Full sun to partial shade Water Requirements: Average Bloom Colors: Pink to dusty rose Bloom Period: Late spring to fall Height: 30 to 36 inches Spacing: 12 to 16 inches Description: This exceptional bedding plant produces exotic fan-shaped crests on tall, straight cutting stems. The long-lasting blooms provide continuous color until first hard frost and add flair to cut flower arrangements. Flower heads are comprised of hues of cream, pink and rose giving an old-fashioned feel to a exciting new cultivar. These durable plants are maintenance, pest and disease free requiring no significant care aside from occasional watering during periods of drought. Uses/Culture: Massed or grouped in sunny beds and borders, cutting gardens. Plants perform best in full sun and evenly moist but well-drained, moderately fertile soil, but will tolerate some shade and periods of drought once established. They excel in areas with hot and humid summers. Germination Requirements: Germination occurs in 1-2 weeks under warm (72-75F), moist conditions. Sow direct after soil has warmed in spring or indoors to peat pots (plants resent root disturbance) 4-6 weeks prior to last frost date in your area for earliest blooms.
