Description
The Fresh Look Red & Yellow Variegated Cockscomb, known by its Latin name Celosia argentea var. plumosa Fresh Look Red & Yellow, is an annual plant native to tropical regions.
Cockscomb stands out with its upright pyramidal cymes inflorescences measuring 10 to 25cm (4 to 10in), composed of small flowers that give the whole plant the appearance of a plume.
Its pale green foliage consists of lanceolate leaves measuring 10-15 cm (4-6in). The entire plant measures about 35 cm (14in).
Cockscomb can be used as a fresh or dried cut flower. Its vibrant colours are ideal for brightening up a dull bouquet.
The flowering period is from July to October without interruption. Planting should take place after the last frost (in May in most regions) as it freezes at 0°C (32°F). The soil should be enriched with compost or potting soil before planting. The preferred exposure for Cockscomb is full sun. The Fresh look Red & Yellow Variegated Cockscomb is used for creating flower beds, borders, or exotic flowering pots on the patio.

Planting and care
Sow Celosia from February to April in a seed tray. Use high-quality compost. Sow your seeds by broadcasting them. Cover the seeds by sprinkling compost on top or vermiculite, gently press down and water generously with a fine sprinkling. Place your seed tray in a well-lit area, without direct sunlight, at a temperature of 24°C to 27°C.
The seeds will germinate in 14 to 21 days. Once the plants reach a height of 5 cm (2in), transplant them into pots. 15 days before their final planting, gradually acclimatize them to a temperature of 15°C.
By the end of May or beginning of June, the temperature in the garden will be warm enough to plant your young plants. Choose a sunny location. Add a good scoop of compost to each planting hole. Space your plants 25 cm (10in) apart.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
