Celosia 'Sparkler Mix'

Trial: Annual

Years Trialed: 1996

Good Qualities

Color (4); Size, fair regrowth.; Straight strong stems

Problems

Other sparkler colors, especially yellow/cream, seemed weaker. Sparklers are a bit short to make a really good cut.; Some died after first cutting - cause undertrimmed.; Our clientele doesn't go for these reds, oranges, and yellows.

Comments

Pampas Plume is similar, but much larger.; We just can't get the plume celosias to like our soil. They all stunt. The cockscomb varieties do fine though?!
