Celosia argentea 'New Look'

Celosia argentea (Plumosa Group) plants (commonly called feather celosia, plumed celosia or feathered amaranth) are old garden favorites that feature narrow-pyramidal, plume-like flower heads (4-10” long) composed of tiny, densely-packed, vividly-colored flowers. 'New Look' is a 1988 introduction that features bright red flower plumes and purple-bronze leaves. It typically grows to 14" tall with a spread to 12". Flowers bloom throughout summer into fall (sometimes to frost) on erect stems clad with spear-shaped bronze-purple leaves.
