Cockscomb (Celosia Cristata Nana Jessica Carmine) - While many gardeners rely on perennial flowers to bring beauty to their gardens year after year, there is no doubt that annuals such as the cockscomb flower add seasonal color and interest to gardens as well. Even though annual flower seeds only last one year, their bloom season is typically much longer than perennials. Different varieties of celosia have diverse growth characteristics. Some varieties grow only to 6 to 8 inches, while certain types tower over other annuals at approximately 4 feet in height. This carmine variety of cockscomb is very short when grown from flower seeds. The more commonly known name of celosia is cockscomb; a name that leans upon the similarity of the flower to the combs of roosters, but is also likened by many to the appearance of brains as well. Colors of any variety of the cockscomb flower are vibrant; ranging from bright yellow to deep crimson to brilliant pink. None are better than this carmine cockscomb.
