Celosia argentea var. cristata

Shapes & Colours: Plumes in purple shades with darker stems and foliage

Celosia is one of my favourite flowers to grow with all the unique shapes and textures, and is also a cutting garden workhorse. A fantastic addition to flower arrangements and in the landscape to draw interest. Celosia enjoys hot and dry weather so plant it in the hottest and driest part of your garden.
