COMMON:
Cockscomb, Feathered amaranth.
LIGHT:
Full sun
HEIGHT:
6" - 3 ft. x 10" x 1 ft.
COLORS:
Pink, orange, red or yellow.
COMMENTS:
Differs from the stiff-looking crested cockscomb
(Celosia cristata [childsii
group]) in that their flowers are arranged
in loose plumes. High organic, well-drained soil.
Reliable all summer and look more appealing planted
in groups rather than dotted singularly around the
garden. Moderately water. |
