An overhead of Celosia

Celosia

Grown for their unique textural blooms, celosias are vigorous and free-flowering. A summer cutting garden workhorse, they thrive in hot, humid, and dry conditions. What’s amazing about this group of plants is that their fuzzy, velvet-like flowers come in distinct shapes—including fans, plumes, and brains—and it’s hard to believe they are actually real.
