Dwarf celosia plants are compact varieties of the Celosia genus, known for their unique, colorful, and often intricately shaped flower heads. These plants have a bushy growth habit and typically reach heights of 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm). The flowers of dwarf celosia come in a variety of vibrant colors, including red, orange, yellow, pink, and purple. The flower heads can resemble plumes, cockscombs, or spikes, depending on the specific cultivar. Dwarf celosia plants are well-suited for containers, borders, and edging due to their small size and attractive blooms. They prefer full sun and well-drained soil, making them ideal for sunny garden spots.
