Celosia, Flamingo Feather (Organic)

Celosia argentea var. spicata. 60 days. Perennial in zones 10-11.

Feathery silver/white flower spikes develop into a light pink that gets darker towards the tips. Soft texture begs to be touched and looks phenomenal in arrangements. A wheatstraw type, Flamingo Feather Celosia plants grow to 4’ tall producing many branches (up to 40!), each with a flower spike at the end. Spikes may be picked early when they are small, or if they remain on the plant they’ll just keep getting bigger until the end of the season. Dries well, too. Winner of a Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit.
