Celosia argentea - Sunday Wine Red

Not your midget "box-store" Celosia, but the rarely seen gardenworthy 3'x30" variety that was bred for the cut flower market. Amazing color, texture and foliar interest all in one plant! Transform your Summer garden from "Oh, how nice" to "Oh our GOD!" Dense and multi-branching, the deep claret foliage furnishes eye-catching contrast and those long lasting 6-8" plumes are the funniest and make terrific cut flowers, fresh or dried. Easy and quick to bloom and great in containers (10+ gal.) Heat tolerant. Attracts butterflies. Rich, humusy soil for best show. Self sows!
