Kelos Fire Yellow (also known as Celosia Spicata, Prince of Wales Feather, Woolflower, or Red Fox) is native to the Mediterranean and East Africa. Greek for "burning," Celosia indicates the vibrant colors of this plumed cultivar of the flowering annual. Danziger developed the Kelos variety for early flowering and excellent heat-tolerance. This plant has an upright habit of 12-18" tall, offering bright colors to borders, landscape beds, and containers. Any cottage, rustic, or tropical flower garden will benefit from Kelos Fire Yellow's long season of showy color and texture. Long-lasting as a cut or dried flower, Celosia is an obvious choice for cut-flower gardens. Kelos Fire Yellow blooms from spring until frost, flourishing with little more than full sun and regular water. Pair Fire Yellow with Scarlet and Purple or Red and Orange for a mixed splash of vibrant color.
Sell Kelos Fire Yellow to customers looking for a low-maintenance showy annual to add to containers, borders, or a cut-flower garden. Celosia offers many benefits, from a compact upright habit to large vivid flowers which bloom from spring to the first hard frost. Kelos Fire plumes are fantastic additions to cut flower arrangements and offer up to six months of brilliant color in dried bouquets. This plant grows 12-18" tall and 12-15" wide, requiring little more than full sun and moderate water. Create an attractive rustic or cottage garden by pairing Kelos Fire Yellow with Angleonia, African Marigold, Nasturtium, Lantana, or Euphorbia. Its stunning bright color makes Celosia also well-suited to a more tropical garden.

1. Space plants 10-12" apart in well-drained soil in full sun when temperatures are reliably above 55 degrees.
2. Water regularly and feed monthly.
3. Trim back growth slightly during mid-summer to refresh plants.
4. Cut stalks and hang upside down until dry for use in dried arrangements or wreaths. Dried Celosia will have color for up to six months.
For best results with Kelos Fire Yellow, plant one rooted plug per 4-inch container or 2-3 plugs per gallon container. Use well-drained soil in full sun with a pH of 5.6-6.0, EC of 1.5-2.0 mS/cm, and light feed (100-150 ppm). Maintain temperatures of 63-68 degrees. This cultivar is day-neutral. Water regularly, but allow the soil to dry between waterings. Pinch once when the plant reaches 6-12" tall. Provide adequate airflow to combat stem rot and leaf spot. You may see spider mites or aphids.
Yellow plume-shaped flowers bloom from spring until the first hard frost.
Pinch once when plant reaches 6-12" tall.
Space containers for adequate airflow around the base and foliage of each plant and to allow sunlight to penetrate to the soil level.
Kelos Fire Yellow does not require PGRs.
You may see aphids and spider mites. Scout regularly for pests and implement an Integrated Pest Management plan in your greenhouse to prevent insects and diseases from damaging your crops.
Aphids are small, soft-bodied insects that cause damage by sucking sap from plant tissue. They reproduce quickly and are particularly attracted to young growth. Curling and yellowed leaves, stunted growth, and stickiness on leaves are signs of an infestation. These insects also spread diseases and reproduce rapidly. Use biological controls or horticultural oils to discourage and kill aphids.
Spider Mites are tiny pests that cause stippling, yellowing, and webbing on foliage by feeding on plant sap. They flourish in warm, dry environments. Use correct water and fertilizing practices; over-fertilizing can attract spider mites. Proper humidity levels, predatory mites or ladybugs, and insecticidal soaps or oils may prevent or address a spider mite infestation.
Discourage pest infestations by sanitizing materials and surfaces, watering appropriately, and keeping the greenhouse clean and free of debris.
Diseases are not typically an issue for Celosia, but you may see Leaf Spot or Stem Rot, especially with inadequate airflow and over-moist soil.
We recommend planting one plant per 4-inch container or 2-3 plugs per gallon container. Use well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot in the center of the container or evenly spaced.
