Notes
'Flamma Orange' silver cock's comb (Celosia argentea 'Flamma Orange') is an annual for borders, containers, cut flowers, and accents. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms, and it tolerates drought. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It grows fast and stands upright.
Pairs well with African marigold, Zinnia, and Ageratum.
