Celosia Chief Persimmon produces vigorous plants with dependable, thick stems that support warm apricot blooms ranging from 2 to 7 inches in diameter. This heirloom cockscomb variety, also called crested cock's comb, offers exceptional versatility for both fresh cutting and dried flower preservation, making it invaluable for gardeners and floral designers seeking reliable color and form. The soft persimmon tones bring warmth and sophistication to any arrangement, complementing both traditional and contemporary designs.

The sturdy stems eliminate the need for heavy support, simplifying garden management and arrangement work. Chief Persimmon blooms consistently in approximately 120 days with a reliable germination rate of 70% or better, ensuring predictable success regardless of your gardening experience.
