My mom's mailbox area has been overrun with them. I occasionally snag some from her I always put them in too sunny a spot. This year I picked my mailbox area and viola... they did well. :) These will spread and go crazy under good conditions. My mom’s mailbox area has been overrun with them.

Celosia is also known as a cockscomb. Fascinating plants.
