Celosia argentea var. spicata
(75 days) Open-pollinated. Upright 20–26" tall multi-branched wheat-type celosia produces showy spikes, light pink at the base turning to a deep rose-magenta at the tip. Green foliage starts at ground level. A prolific and striking display en massse, as a border, or in containers. Excellent cutflower. Blooms July through frost. Hums with bees and other pollinators from mid-afternoon until dusk. Prefers full sun and moist rich soil, though does well in marginal dry soil as well. Does not tolerate standing water
