Flamingo Purple

Flower

Celosia argentea spicata

Overview
Dense, shrub-like plants produce a bounty of dramatic, dark burgundy-and-green foliage with 2-5" magenta flower spikes. Plants are upright and highly uniform, and stems are dark red, thick, and sturdy. As a cut flower, it adds a tropical flair. NOTE: Despite the name, this is a very different plant than Pink Flamingo celosia. Purple Flamingo blooms late and produces an abundance of foliage with comparatively few flowers on very dense plants. Pink Flamingo is the opposite in many ways, blooming early with lots of flowers and few leaves.
Growing
