In India and China it is known as a troublesome weed.[3] DescriptionCelosia argentea is a tender annual that is often grown in gardens. It blooms in mid-spring to summer. It is propagated by seeds. The seeds are extremely small, up to 43,000 seeds per ounce.[4] The flowers are hermaphrodites. CultivationAs these plants are of tropical origin, they grow best in full sunlight and should be placed in a well drained area. The flowerheads can last up to 8 weeks, and further growth can be promoted by removing dead flowers.[4] CultivarsCelosia argentea var. cristata 'Flamingo Feathers' is a cultivar that can grow up to 2 feet in height. The colors are predominantly pink to light violet, and the leaves are a darker green than other cultivars. The Century cultivars are usually taller (1–2 feet), and are bright red, yellow, orange, or pink. The Kimono cultivars are generally smaller (4 inches - 1 foot), and have more muted colors, though similar to the Century cultivars. Other colors, such as white, burgundy, orange-red, etc., can be found. Certain varieties will grow to 3–4 feet in height.[4]Celosia plumosa, also known as Prince of Wales feathers,[5] is a synonym for Celosia argentea. Seeds may be sold as mixtures. The following strains have gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit (confirmed 2017):[6]

UsesIt is used in Africa to help control growth of the parasitic Striga plant. It can also be used in soaps.[12] FoodThe leaves and flowers are edible and are grown for such use in Africa and Southeast Asia.[13] Celosia argentea var. argentea or "Lagos spinach" is one of the main boiled greens in West Africa, where it is known as soko yòkòtò (Yoruba) or farar áláyyafó (Hausa)[14][15] ImagesSee also
