Celosia 'First Flame Red' – Plumed Cockscomb (Set of 3 or 6)

Celosia 'First Flame Red' carries upright feathery plumes in a strong red above neat green foliage all summer.

The plumed cockscomb is grown for those dense, flame shaped heads. They hold their colour for weeks and cut well for a vase, and the strong vertical shape gives height and texture next to softer flowers in a bed or a mixed container.

Plants are supplied as 1L pot grown specimens, a full garden centre size rootball in a 13cm pot, so they establish quickly. Celosia is tender and wants a warm, sheltered spot: the plumes are easily battered by wind and heavy rain, so keep it out of an exposed position.
