Sunday™ Wine Red Celosia

Sunday™ Wine Red is an upright plume celosia with deep wine-red flower heads and long stems for cutting. The [PanAmerican Seed product profile](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/166305906006021/celosia-sunday-wine-red/) lists code CEL1027039. [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 plumes in fresh bouquets or grow the annual in a sunny border or container for a seasonal accent. The breeder describes full plumes and strong stems suited to mixed arrangements and professional cut flower production. ## Flowers and form Wine-red plumes rise above leafy stems on an upright plant. PanAmerican Seed reports a typical height of 28–40 inches and width of 5 inches and flowering from spring into autumn; timing depends on climate and growing conditions. ## Siting and soil Provide full sun and amended, well-drained soil. Celosia grows well in heat and humidity, but crowding, rain, and persistent humidity can cause flowers to rot. ## Maintenance Start seed indoors and transplant after frost, or direct sow after frost danger has passed. Deadhead if you want to limit reseeding, and harvest stems as the plumes develop for arrangements.
