Celosia argentea cristata Captain Red
Celosia Captain Red has a beautiful intensely-coloured flower. But that is not all. The red colour also runs through to the dark stem and into the veins of the dark green leaves. Overall spectacular! Beauty & Brains, the Celosia Captain series has both! The large round spheres of Celosia Captain resemble the structure of a brain, and a very beautiful one we might add! In addition, the Captain series guarantees high quality. This series should preferably be planted from late spring to late summer and with a bit more spacing, because of the robust plant structure and large flowers. After a cultivation period of 10 to 14 weeks, the Celosia Captain series can be harvested until late autumn. Discover all Captain colours and the sparkling mix.
