About this plant
A crested celosia, 20 to 30 cm, with velvety flower heads in bright colors. Full sun outdoors from October to April, or a very sunny window.
Woolflower (Celosia argentea, crested type, also sold as Celosia cristata) is a flowering annual from the amaranth family. Its flower heads are folded and crested like a rooster's comb, with a velvety, woolly texture, in shades of red, magenta, orange and yellow above green leaves.
In Dubai it is best treated as a seasonal bedding plant for the cooler months, roughly October to April, when it flowers for weeks in sun. It likes heat but struggles in peak summer, when strong sun and hot nights shorten its life. Indoors it lasts only a few weeks on a sunny windowsill before fading, so it is better outdoors. Water at the base and keep the soil evenly moist.
It works well in flower beds, balcony planters, window boxes and as seasonal color by entrances. We offer it at around 20 to 30 cm, ready to plant out.

Care Guide for Dubai Homes
How to keep Woolflower healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Full sun outdoors from October to April; a very sunny window indoors. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 1 to 2 days in beds and pots in warm weather, keeping the soil evenly moist. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: fertile, well-draining soil with added compost. Feeding: balanced liquid feed every 2 weeks while flowering. Common mistake: expecting it to last as a permanent houseplant, when it is a seasonal annual. Where it works: flower beds, balcony planters, window boxes and entrance pots.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
Pets
Listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats and dogs.
