Latin Name: Celosia plumosa ‘Century’ 

The Celosia ‘Plumosa Century’ is a vibrant, feathery-plumed celosia prized for its bold, upright flower spikes and long-lasting color. This tall annual grows 20–28 inches (50–70 cm) high, making it ideal for cut flowers, borders, or dramatic container accents.

Part of the Century series, it produces dense, flame-shaped blooms in intense shades of red, yellow, pink, and orange, retaining their vivid hue from summer until frost. The soft, velvety plumes add texture to arrangements and dry beautifully for crafts.

Thriving in full sun and well-draining soil, it’s heat- and drought-tolerant, requiring minimal maintenance. Butterflies adore it, while deer avoid it.

Perfect for cottage gardens or modern designs, pair it with purple salvias, ornamental grasses, or white alyssum.
