Ice Cream Yellow Celosia

Ice Cream Yellow is the yellow-flowered selection in PanAmerican Seed’s compact Ice Cream plume-celosia series. The breeder describes the series as early and well branched for gardens and patio planters, and an exact-color plant profile gives a mature size of 10–12 inches tall and wide.

The breeder identifies the Ice Cream series for summer production and recommends it for patio planters and gardens. The yellow flower color is confirmed by the exact-selection profile. ## Size and placement Allow about 10–12 inches in both height and spread. The current 0.4 m height is materially above the exact-selection range and the breeder’s 12-inch series figure, so it remains unresolved. The current 0.3 m width is consistent with the exact spread after metric rounding. The plant profile lists USDA zones 9–11; colder regions should use it as a warm-season annual. ## Growing notes Grow in a sunny, warm position with room for its branched form. PanAmerican advises timely transplanting because celosia develops a taproot and is sensitive to root damage.

Remove spent plumes when they detract from the display.
