Organic Red Flame Celosia This cockscomb-style celosia is like vivid red velvet, with striking burgundy leaves that wowed us all summer. Its long, strong 20+ inch stems are ideal for both fresh and dry arrangements. The more you harvest, the more you'll continue to harvest. Initial blooms are often over four inches wide, gradually getting smaller with each successive harvest. From boutonnieres and garlic braids to autumn wreaths and winter bouquets, we find celosia tucked all around us, brightening our days even in the dark of winter.
Grow Like a Pro: Harvest celosia at peak blossom. For straight stems in dry arrangements, hang celosia upside down to dry two weeks before arranging.
