Celosia, Tornado Red

Annual. Massive 8-12 inch magenta heads teeter atop tall plants with lush foliage. The large dense combs have brilliant garnet and violet tones that shimmer in the back border or as a large focal point in arrangements. With dwarf varieties dominating the market in recent years, it can be difficult to find tall varieties. Tornado Red proudly stands 2 feet tall and will bloom from late spring until fall frost. A stunning variety that holds its rich, crushed velvet color when cut.
