Velvety Red that brightens up the place

Celosia argentea var. cristata
[Cockscomb, Plumed Celosia,鸡冠花]
Origin: East Indies

Cockscomb, especially those with red flowers is a favourite plant during Chinese New Year because it's red flowers brighten up the home. It requires well-drained, fertile soil. Water regularly and give occasional mist spray. Place it in a sunny sheltered spot.
