Notes
'Fresh Look Yellow' cockscomb (Celosia argentea 'Fresh Look Yellow') is an annual for borders, containers, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. 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. It grows fast and reaches 12 to 24 inches tall. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms, and the plant tolerates drought. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Ageratum, African marigold, Zinnia, and Black-eyed Susan.
