A pollinator-magnet, Celosia argentea 'Asian Garden' (Silver Cockscomb) is an upright tender perennial, usually grown as an annual, noted for its good branching, almost bushy growth habit and early to bloom flower spikes. Particularly attractive, the plume-like inflorescences are purplish-pink fading to pale pink, giving an interesting two-tone effect. Blooming over a reasonably long season, from late spring until frost, the ravishing blossoms rise on sturdy stems above the fresh green foliage. They make wonderful fresh cut flowers and are terrific in dried arrangements. An interesting beauty for the sunny border.
