Cock's-Comb (Celosia)
Cock's-Comb Genus Details
Celosia argentea was derived from the greek word meaning burning, which is an obvious choice once the flowers are identified. Small plume-like flowers form plumose or crested spikes. Flower color ranges from bright red and yellow to pink and purple. They are sun-loving plants that usually grow in tropical or sub-tropical regions. In many countries, these plants are stripped of their leaves and the leaves are boiled, mixed with salt and chili peppers and eaten. In China, the leaves and shoots act as diuretics when consumed.
