Smokey petals have the look of crushed silk dipped in Earl Grey lavender, sophisticated and haunting purple-grey hues – highly sought after for its elegance in the landscape & arrangements. A favourite of high-end florists who reserve Amazing Grey for the finest design work. There is noting quite like them!

Description

Some smokey reds will show up in the mix from time to time.

Plants are vigorous and free flowering. After blooms drop, they leave behind adorable, chocolate-capped seed pods.

Shirley poppies resent transplanting. Direct sow into the garden after all danger of frost has passed. Can be started indoors, just take care when planting out not to disturb the roots too much. (see blog post)

Individual flowers are short lived, lasting 3-4 days if stem ends are seared 7-10 seconds in boiling water. Harvest when flowers are just opening.

Celosia argentea spicata -MIX
Celosia argentea spicata -MIX
Celosia is a genus of edible and ornamental annual or short-lived perennial (zones 9-11) grown as an ornamental for its distinctive, erect flower spikes sort of reminiscent of a sheaf of wheat that give it the common name of wheat celosia. Grown for their unique, textural blooms, celosias are vigorous and free flowering. Easy to grow plants. Brilliant colours in a range of reds, pinks, orange, salmon, yellow and cream. I originally received this seed called C. 'Pampas Plume' but I do not think it is. It seems more to me a "C. spicata' so have named it such. The pictures are mine and exactly what this mix looks like. See more below:
