Ratings & Reviews
Celosia- Forest FireCelosia- Forest Fire
I bought a packet of Celosia Forest Fire seeds after seeing some mature plants in a nursery, and it was great to see these seeds germinate after just a few days. Now I have too many seedlings to pot up, but am very happy with the germination rates of these and also other seeds I've bought from this site.

Grew easily in pots and garden. Striking colour and shape. Tolerated SA heat. Recommend
