Celosia argentea cristata
Ruby Parfait is a gloriously whimsical plant and such a joy to grow! Dozens of iridescent rose spires rise on long, strong stems ideal for both fresh and dry bouquets.

The first flush of Ruby Parfait are often over three inches tall, 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!

What a stunning plant! Gorgeous purple color, and the shape of the flower plumes provided great contrast to the other plants in the bed. Bloomed all summer long and covered in bees!
