Celosia spicata - Celway Terracotta

Soft, smoky, and full of vintage charm, Celosia spicata ‘Celway Terracotta’ brings a beautifully layered warmth to the summer garden. Its slender, wheat-like flower spikes rise in glowing shades of copper, peach, rose, and muted terracotta, creating a nuanced color palette that looks gorgeous in morning light, golden in the afternoon, and absolutely irresistible in a bouquet. The blooms float above fresh green foliage with an airy, elegant texture that feels refined, romantic, and just a little bit wild.

Also known as wheat celosia, ‘Celway Terracotta’ grows about 24 to 36 inches tall, adding a graceful vertical accent to sunny beds, borders, and containers without feeling heavy. It is a fabulous annual for cutting gardens, cottage plantings, pollinator borders, and dried flower beds, where its long-lasting plumes add movement, softness, and harvest-season glamour. Fresh stems bring rich texture to arrangements, while dried flowers hold their color beautifully for everlasting bouquets, wreaths, and autumn displays.

Pair Celosia spicata ‘Celway Terracotta’ with zinnias, cosmos, amaranthus, strawflower, ornamental grasses, and dark foliage for a lush, painterly palette of sunset tones and antique floral color. Plant in full sun with regular water for best growth and plenty of bloom. Easy, floriferous, and wonderfully bouquet-worthy, this celosia is a must for gardeners who love flowers with texture, warmth, and lasting beauty.
