Since celosia are not cold tolerant it's necessary to wait until after the last frost when the weather gets warmer before you can plant them.

The last month that you can plant celosia and expect a good harvest is probably August. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your celosia may not have a chance to fully mature. Starting your celosia indoors is a great way to get them started a couple of weeks earlier.
