Description
We’re thrilled to finally add a celosia to our catalog! Also known as Cockscomb, these flowers are distinguished by their wispy, feathered plumes and silky texture. Golden Plume stood our in our variety trials by the sheer brilliance of its color, outshining everything in its vicinity. They are happy left alone in the garden (the bees will thank you) with blooms lasting for weeks on end, but also thrive as a cut flower. Celosia is a favorite of florists, due their long vase-life and use in dried arrangements.
