Celosia Chief Carmine delivers commanding presence with sturdy, uniform plants reaching 36 to 40 inches tall, crowned with brilliant carmine red blooms measuring 2 to 7 inches across. Also known as cockscomb and crested cock's comb, this dramatic heirloom variety commands attention in any garden or floral arrangement with its velvety, textured flower heads. The strong stems of Chief Carmine make it exceptionally valuable for both fresh and dried flower applications. Cut these striking blooms at peak color for vibrant fresh arrangements that last for weeks, or allow them to dry naturally for long-lasting displays that retain their rich carmine hue and distinctive texture. Dried Celosia adds architectural interest to wreaths, swags, and permanent arrangements that brighten your home year-round. Chief Carmine performs reliably across diverse growing conditions, blooming in approximately 120 days with a consistent germination rate of 70% or better. The bold color and unusual form make it an excellent choice for cutting gardens, mixed borders, and contemporary floral designs that demand visual impact. Whether you're a serious flower arranger or a home gardener seeking statement-making blooms, Celosia Chief Carmine delivers exceptional results.
