| Nothing else looks like this stunning Celosia! Huge heads of deepest maroon, whorled and lobed like a cabbage, nestle among large, tropical-looking foliage of deep purple with maroon veins and deep green highlights! An amazing show of color, especially since this is a sun-lover best in the full-sun garden! The velvety flowerheads reach 8 to 10 inches long and several inches across, blazing with color from summer till frost. The plant reaches just 6 inches tall, displaying excellent heat tolerance through the worst August days! Start seeds indoors 4 weeks before last frost, or sow direct after the soil is warm. Space 9 to 12 inches apart. Pkt is 100 seeds. |
