A novelty celosia that showcases one single large flower - with spires rather than petals - of a lush, dramatic deep burgundy-purple atop foliage of equally deep brownish-purple. Blooms from spring through late summer. The unusual shape and striking colour of this annual will provide a dramatic touch to borders, flowerbeds and containers. Will grow up to 14 inches with a spread of 8-12 inches. Full sun. Well-drained, rich soil. Hardy, both indoors and out.
