Cockscomb for Color
For a weekly client who absolutely loves color, masses of celosia with graceful arcs and tendrils of bittersweet usher in October. Kids are fascinated by celosia, also known as cockscomb. You know it's high praise indeed when an 8 or 9-year old boy says with admiration, "Eew, gross. It looks like brains!" A favorite of gardeners (Thomas Jefferson included) for its vivid colors -- scarlets, magentas, yellows, oranges, pinks, greens and golds, we absolutely love its weird shapes and textures.
