Sow 2 seeds per cell  - DO NOT COVER as requires light to germinate- a light sprinkling of vermiculite helps to preserve moisture around the seed without blocking the light. Celosia dislikes root disturbance. Thin to one plant per cell. Pinch when plants are 15-20cm. Succession plant every 4 weeks for continual large quantity of high-quality cut flowers – although one sowing will last the summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIRECT SOW\u003c\/strong\u003e - Sow once soil has warmed to 20C.
