Red Flame Celosia
2' tall
95 days to harvest
Celosia argentea cristata
This cockscomb-style celosia is like vivid red velvet with bright burgundy leaves that wow us all summer. Her long, strong 16+ inch stems are ideal for both fresh and dry arrangements. Like so many flowers, the more you harvest, the more you’ll continue to harvest. The first flush of Red Flame is the largest, often dwarfing our hands; her heads gradually getting smaller with each successive harvest. From boutonnieres and garlic braids to autumn wreaths and winter bouquets, we can’t wait to see how you weave celosia into all season!
Organic Red Flame Celosia

Loved these! They were a brilliant red and bloomed absolutely all summer long.
Many, many neighbors stopped to ask what they were, or to touch them. (They are so fuzzy and soft!)
