Celosia argentea var. cristata

Colours: Plumes & Spikes in soft pastels colors such as Pink, Rose, Yellow, Champagne, and Orange with lighter 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.
