I've been looking for the Orange Celosia seeds without luck for about one year. Please send me any info you may have about how I can get seeds to this spectacular plant.

I checked the above sites you referenced. All of them only have mixed castle celosia and semi-dwarf. I would really like some Orange (only) seeds of the 18" height.

If anyone can assist, I'd be grateful.

Thanks,

Steve

Well I haven't been able to find anything else, but you could post on another forum to see if anyone else knows. I hope you can find what you're looking for!
