Kosmo Mixture Celosia

Kosmo Mixture is a compact blend of wheat celosias with upright stems and dense, branching flower spikes. At about 8 inches tall and 8–10 inches wide, it brings a low, colorful display to pots, packs, window boxes, and the front of sunny annual plantings. PanAmerican Seed describes the Kosmo series as genetically dwarf, well suited to container production, and capable of flowering without pinching or growth regulators. ## Form and use The [PanAmerican Seed Kosmo Mixture profile](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/014503064003332/celosia-kosmo-mixture/) identifies the exact selection as *Celosia spicata* and describes the compact, branched spikes and pot-and-pack use. The [Kosmo Orange breeder profile](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/014503064003789/celosia-kosmo-orange/) gives the shared series dimensions of 8 inches tall and 8–10 inches wide, upright habit, sun exposure, and late spring through late summer bloom; the [University of Wisconsin–Madison Extension guide](https://hort.extension.wisc.edu/articles/celosia-celosia-spicata/) confirms those compact dimensions and the mixed-color series. ## Siting Grow in full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Use a container with drainage or mass the plants along the front of an annual border. Allow 8–10 inches for each plant so the leafy base and side spikes can fill out. ## Maintenance Plant outside after frost, or use pots in a protected sunny place. Keep new plants watered as they establish and avoid leaving roots in standing water. The Kosmo series does not need pinching; remove flower heads before seed matures where self-sowing is unwanted.
