A stunning array of mostly fans, with a handful of cockscombs, spikes, and "Celway" variety types all mixed up in it! It is anyone's guess what may appear but surprises are mostly nice, right?! In this case, you can bet on some lovely mixes in a rainbow of colors and shapes. Known for velvety, long standing blooms, long vase length, fresh and dried uses, a love of and tolerance of heat, and vibrant colors, celosias are some of the most unusual flowers we grow. A fun project that we look forward to selecting year after year, primarily steering it towards mellower tones and fan shapes. Enjoy! 2-3.5’ Annual.
