Flamingo Celosia Seeds

I sowed about 20 seeds of this celosia. The germination rate was great but every single plant has bloomed pure white. There is not even a hint of pink anywhere. The plants seem very happy, they are all over 50 inches tall (which is taller than they are supposed to be). I am very disappointed that these did not bloom true and I will not be buying these again.

I was hoping for bright pink blooms, but they remained white. I have the exact same grievances as the first review.

I had never seen any of this variety at the time I purchased this seed. I can not describe how much I love the structure and flowers of this plant. The color is a gorgeous light pink which gives it a very refined classic feeling. I would highly recommend this to any of my friends or family. I don't think you would be disappointed.

The low reviews regarding color are misleading. I thought the same thing. These are white! Silver really. Gorgeous and ghostly, but not what I imagined when I planted them in my tropical pool garden. If you never harvest them, this is all you will see. So cut these! Each time the blooms came back, which happens robustly for months, they got pinker and pinker. So by the end of the summer, they were hot pink. A beautiful flower. The blooms have a texture you can't help from touching. Give it a try!

I thought the same thing about this flower at first. I was intrigued by its structure, but they were a soft fluffy white-like a bunnies tail. I really wanted the pink to show and look like a flamingo. I did cut a few for arrangements when they were all white. The longer you leave this plant in your garden the pink will show up and it is spectacular. I was very impressed with it being able to take the heat because we live in Oklahoma and it is hot! These plants are still in my garden since late spring looking fabulous and pink.
