Celosia ‘Ice Cream Mango’ is compact and colourful, with plumes of golden-orange flowers that last for months in summer and early autumn. This sun-loving, heat-tolerant annual looks fantastic in containers.

Sow indoors

Almost fill a tray with seed compost and water carefully. Sow seeds thinly over the surface and just cover with a little more compost. Place in the warmth (20-25°C / 68-75F) and keep moist.

Grow on

Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight. When lareg enough to handle, transplant 5cm (2in) apart into trays of potting compost, or individually into small (8cm / 3in) pots.

Plant out

Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions before planting out in full sun once the danger of frost has passed. Allow 25cm (10in) between plants. Plant in well-drained soil in a sunny border, or in good quality compost in containers.

Aftercare

Remove dying flowers to prolong blooming. Water well, especially in hot spells, and feed regularly in summer.

How to grow

Sow seeds on to the surface of pre-watered seed compost, but don't cover them. Keep warm, around 20°C and keep moist, but not wet. Allow 1-2 weeks for germination.
