It began with Pampas Plumes, Texas Plumes, and Supercrest-type mixes, with additional material from Floret-related and Australian grower selections from the same celosia gene pool.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eEach season I’ve selected seed from plants that have proven the most useful, healthy, and visually appealing in our bouquets. I was originally saving for separate lines, but found I didn’t enjoy using beds of only one colour, so I’ve brought them together into one mixed planting, as they all share similar roots.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eThe result is a naturally variable mix of plumes, wheat forms, and crested types in soft, muted vintage tones through to brighter shades — including greens, blush, pinks, orangey golds, soft and darker purples, and occasional brighter flowers. See photos for examples. I’ve even had some variegated leaf patterns appear in the purple wheat lines\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eThis is a tall, cut-flower type mix (not the dwarf bedding celosia), and is especially suited to cut flower growing and home cutting gardens, where a single planting can provide multiple colour palettes for bouquet work and a bit of variety in outcomes. It also performs well in succession plantings, where one mixed sowing can be repeated through the warm season.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e🌱\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e Growing Information\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eSowing time: Spring to early summer (warm conditions required)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eSowing method: Surface sow or lightly cover with fine soil\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eGermination: 7-14 days at 20–25°C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003ePosition: Full sun\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eSpacing: 20-30 cm apart\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eNotes: Heat loving, responds well to cutting and regular harvesting\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eUse\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eExcellent cut flower for fresh or dried arrangements.
