Dracula Cockscomb
Dracula Celosia
Each plant produces a single large heavily crested burgundy red flower above the burgundy tinted dark green foliage. Great selection for containers and towards the front of flower beds. Plant in full sun, well drained soils and provide moderate fertilization for best results. If left in the garden, songbirds will gather to devour the seeds that ripen in late fall. If cut and dried, the dark color and unique shape make for attractive dried arrangements.
