Bless your heart Debi! Celosia are real heat lovers, and I suspect that it's just too cool up your way. Anyway, you don't want them to form plumes too soon. When you buy your six packs, go ahead right then and remove any plumes to give the plant a chance to develop a root system and grow a bit.

Also, the cooler it is, the less water that they need.

I grow mine from seed - -starting them under grow lights and then transplanting outside in late spring.

Good luck on your next batch, Nat
