Tornado Red Cockscomb

Annual. Produces massive 8-12" magenta heads atop tall plants with lush foliage. The large, dense combs have brilliant garnet and violet tones that shimmer at the back of borders or as a large focal point in arrangements. With dwarf cockscomb dominating the market in recent years, it can be difficult to find tall varieties. Tornado Red proudly stands 2' tall, blooming late spring until fall frost. This stunning variety holds its rich, crushed velvet color when cut.
