The Main Celosia Types in Cultivation

  • Celosia argentea var. cristata (Crested Celosia, Cockscomb):
    Known for its unusual, crested flower heads resembling a rooster’s comb, this variety comes in vivid shades of red, yellow, orange, and pink. Plants reach 30–90 cm in height and are excellent for dramatic borders and long-lasting cut flowers.

  • Celosia argentea var. plumosa (Feather Celosia, Plumed Celosia):
    Produces upright, feathery, flame-like plumes that add texture and movement to the garden. Growing 20–60 cm tall, it is a prolific bloomer ideal for both fresh arrangements and drying.

  • Celosia argentea var. spicata (Wheat Celosia):
    Characterised by its slender, spike-like flower heads in shades of pink, red, or purple. Growing 30–90 cm tall, this type is particularly elegant and well suited for cut flower production.
