Collection: 🌺 Celosia (Cockscomb & Plume Celosia)

Celosia is a vibrant and versatile annual that brings bold colour and unique texture to both gardens and floral arrangements. Known for its plumed, crested, or spiked blooms, Celosia adds eye-catching height and form to bouquets and beds. Available in rich hues of red, orange, pink, yellow, and coral, it’s a florist favourite for summer and fall cutting.

Celosia performs beautifully in warm weather, producing long, sturdy stems ideal for fresh or dried use. Whether the feathery plumes of the Century and Pampas series, the coral-like crests of the Cristata types, or the spiky forms like Flamingo Feather, Celosia always delivers dramatic, long-lasting colour.
