A rich, velvet-textured plume in deep burgundy wine tones, Celosia ‘Cramer's Burgundy’ is a dramatic and sculptural addition to summer bouquets. The feathery, upright blooms sit atop strong stems with green to plum-bronze foliage, making it a favourite for both fresh arrangements and dried work. As the season warms, so does its colour—growing deeper and more intense under the sun.
Best for: Bold summer florals, drying for everlasting arrangements, adding texture and depth.
Approx 30 seeds per packet

Prefers full sun and free-draining soil enriched with compost. Pinch out young plants at 10–15cm to encourage strong branching. Water regularly but avoid waterlogging. Cut when the plumes are fully coloured and firm to the touch. Excellent dried – hang upside down in bunches in a dark, airy spot. |
