Celosia New Look Red

New Look Red is a cool celosia with no daylength requirement to bloom like Dragon's Breath therefore they are quicker and longer blooming. The foliage is a deep maroon that gets more intense as the summer rolls on and the blooms are a rich red.  This contrast is epic for mass plantings in borders.  The compact habit and heat tolerance makes them easy plants for the hot summers we have been having.  Very ease to care with no deadheading required.  Plant in mass, among other fiery plants in the front border, or in containers.  One of the easiest annuals you can grow.
