CELOSIA argentea 'Fresh Look Yellow'( Plumosa Group, FRESH LOOK SERIES)
Fresh Look Yellow Plume Cockscomb, Plume Cockscomb
The sunny pyramidal plumes of ‘Fresh Look Yellow’ cockscomb make a beautiful addition to annual borders and containers. This dwarf, bushy annual may occasionally survive for a year or more in southern regions where winters are mild. It grows quickly from seed and has bright green foliage. The long-lasting flowers are dense, plume-like and comprised of many small bracted flowers of bright yellow. When the blooms age they begin to turn brown and should be removed to encourage more to appear.
Plant this ornamental in sites with full sun and average soil with good drainage, and enjoy it in any hot, sunny spot that needs strong summer color. The flowerheads of Celosia argentea may be used in fresh flower arrangements or dried as everlastings.
