This Celosia earns its name by looking as fresh at the end of the season as it does when newly planted in the spring. The bright gold plumes don't fade to brown as they mature. While looks are a great plus, consider that this ongoing freshness means you don't have to deadhead these plants to keep them looking good!

Celosia 'Fresh Look Gold' has tested to be heat, humidity and rain tolerant and a very long season performer.
