Celosia Plumosa

Also known as cockscomb or wool flower. If you want to add some intense color and exotic looking flowers to your garden, look no farther than Celosia. They are easily one of the most colorful and eye-catching annuals for the garden, and in addition, they are also an excellent choice for cutting. The flower heads are enjoyed in both fresh and dried arrangements. Dried Celosia flowers are often sold as everlasting flowers and for use in potpourri. The feathery, flame-like floral heads of plumed cockscomb dazzle the garden and dried floral arrangements with bright, long-lasting colour. The perfect choice for beds and borders. Superb for baskets, containers and window boxes. Excellent cut flowers for fresh or dried arrangements. The tight, velvety texture of the Cockscomb flowers look like brain tissue to some people. The fluffy, light, airy texture of the plume types blow freely in a breeze and are planted more often. Both come in a variety of colors.
