Silver Cock's Comb 'Asian Garden', Silver Cockscomb 'Asian Garden'
A pollinator-magnet, Celosia argentea ‘Asian Garden’ (Silver Cockscomb) is an upright tender annual or short-lived perennial, 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.
