Harris Seeds Celosia Dragon's Breath Seed
Best low-maintenance annual for gardeners seeking heat-tolerant, vibrant summer color.
These seeds deliver high-impact, fiery plumes that thrive in the sweltering heat where other flowers wilt. While they demand a spot in full sun, the trade-off is a low-maintenance, long-blooming display that provides intense color from mid-summer straight through to autumn.
