Sunday™ Orange Celosia

Sunday™ Orange is an upright plume celosia selected for bright orange flower heads and long stems. The [PanAmerican Seed product profile](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/166305906003789/celosia-sunday-orange/) lists code CEL1001423 and cut-flower use. [North Carolina Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/celosia-argentea/common-name/plumed-cockscomb/) describes the species’ sun, soil, and garden uses, and [Kew](https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:316350-2) accepts Celosia argentea and treats Celosia plumosa as a synonym. ## Landscape use Use the full plumes in fresh bouquets or grow the annual in a sunny border or container for a strong seasonal accent. The breeder describes it as a cut flower with full plumes and long, sturdy stems suited to mixed arrangements. ## Flowers and form The orange plumes rise above leafy stems and provide a bold focal point. PanAmerican Seed reports a typical height of 28–40 inches and width of 5 inches, an upright habit, and a spring-through-autumn flowering season. ## Siting and soil Provide full sun and amended, well-drained soil. Celosia handles heat and humidity well once established, while crowded, rainy, or persistently humid conditions can cause flowers to rot. ## Maintenance Start seeds indoors and transplant after frost, or direct sow when frost danger has passed. Deadhead if you want to limit unwanted reseeding, and cut stems as the plumes develop for arrangements.
