Flamingo Feather Celosia

Add a lovely, swaying vertical element to your garden with this elegant celosia. Often called wheat celosia, its name perfectly captures the soft, feathery spikes that rise on tall, slender stems, reaching up to four feet. The flowers are a delight to watch as they mature, starting with a silvery-white base that blushes to a soft, rosy-pink at the tips. Their plush, intriguing texture is irresistible and just begs to be touched. A reliable and uniform grower, this variety's garden performance has even been recognized with the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. This is an exceptionally rewarding plant for flower arrangers. Use the spikes fresh to add a pale pink sparkle and soothing texture to bouquets, or dry them for everlasting arrangements. As a multi-branching plant, you can harvest the flower heads when they are small and dainty, or leave them on the plant to grow larger and more dramatic as the season progresses.
