| Description |
Common name: Plume Plant, Cockscomb, Lalmurga लाल मुर्ग़ा (Hindi), Haolei (Manipuri), Kozhi poo கோழிப்பூ (Tamil) Botanical name: Celosia argentea var. plumosa - [ (se-LO-see-uh) or (kay-LO-see-uh) from the Greek kelos, meaning dry, burnt; referring to its color; (ar-JEN-tee-uh) meaning silvery; (plum-OH-suh) has plume or feather ] Family: Amaranthaceae (amaranth family) Origin: Americas, Africa, or Asia Celosia argentea is commonly known as plumed cockscomb. It is a plant of tropical origin, and is known for its very bright colors. C. argentea is a tender annual that is often grown in gardens. It is propagated by seeds, and produces up to 43,000 seeds per ounce. The seeds are extremely small. There are different cultivars of celosia (sometimes known as Celosia argentea var. plumosa). The Century cultivars are usually taller (1-2 feet), and are bright red, yellow, orange, or pink. The Kimono cultivars are generally smaller (4 inches - 1 foot), and have more muted colors, though similar to the Century cultivars. Other colors, such as white, burgundy, orange-red, etc., can be found. Certain varieties will grow to 3-4 feet in height. Since these plants are of tropical origin, they do grow best in full sunlight. The flowerheads can last up to 8 weeks, and further growth can be promoted by removing dead flowers. The leaves and flowers are edible and are grown for such use in Africa and Southeast Asia.
