Approx. 25 seeds

Timing:Sow indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost, in peat or coir pots Celosia does not like its roots disturbed by transplanting. Transplant at least two weeks after last frost, once nighttime temperatures areconsistently above 10C (50F). Or direct sow outdoors after last frost. Seeds will germinate in 6-14 days.

Starting: Just cover the small seeds. If starting indoors, try to maintain a soil temperature of 21-25C (70-75F). Be sure to usepeat pots, coir pots, or Cowpots, and transplant the whole pot into the soil at transplant time. This will minimize transplant shock.
