Celosia argentea is a horticultural masterpiece, affectionately known as Cockscomb for its velvety, rooster's comb-like blooms.

The Cockscomb commands attention, whether nestled within a sun-kissed border or lending a splash of tropical extravagance to your everyday container garden. Rising upwards to a height of 12 to 30 inches, this sun-loving annual thrives in a variety of climates, handling both dry and humid conditions with grace. Its lancet-shaped, bold green leaves offer an attractive counterpoint to the vibrant blossoms.
