A remarkable crop variety that produces bountiful harvests of leaves with higher iron content than spinach. Celosia is a fast-growing annual with upright stems, smooth green leaves, and bold, sculptural flower forms that range from feathery plumes to crested, coral-like heads. Its colors move through reds, oranges, yellows, pinks, and purples.
It functions as a seasonal support and production species, filling space quickly, producing biomass, and providing edible greens and seed while requiring very little labor to grow. It establishes easily from seed, thrives in heat, and delivers food, pollinator support, and visual structure in a single season.
