It's not often that a raved-about cut flower crosses over into the landscape world with ease but such is the case with the Celway series of celosias. The Celway series known botanically as Celosia spicata comes in seven colors. Look for salmon, terracotta, purple, red, orange lemon and white.
If you get a little confused on your celosia groups this is the one commonly called wheat straw or flamingo feather. Note, however, this one does do a little unique branching. You will treasure not only their vibrant color but also their tough-as-nails performance in the landscape.
