TWISTED ORANGE COCKSCOMB -
16-20 Inches Tall 12-14 Inches Wide--
Celosia argentea cristata 'Twisted Orange' is a spectacular, conversation-starting annual that brings unmatched architectural form and vibrant color to the garden. Belonging to the cockscomb group, 'Twisted Orange' is famous for its large, velvety flower heads that twist, curl, and fold into intricate, brain-like ribbons. The color is an extraordinarily bright, saturated orange that remains vivid and fiery without bleaching, even under the most intense mid-summer sun. Reaching a sturdy, upright height of 16 to 20 inches, 'Twisted Orange' features strong, thick stems and clean, bright green foliage that provides a fresh, high-contrast backdrop for the massive, uniquely textured blooms.
On the cultural side, 'Twisted Orange' is a robust, heat-tolerant performer that thrives when the summer weather peaks. It demands a location in full sun and must be planted in sharply drained soil, as its thick stems and heavy flower heads can suffer if the root zone stays waterlogged. While it has good tolerance to short dry spells, providing consistent, even moisture and a regular fertilization schedule will help the plant produce the largest, most dramatically convoluted crests. Thanks to its strong habit and long-lasting flower structure, it does not require deadheading and holds up beautifully against wind and rain, making it an excellent choice for bold bedding displays, premium patio containers, or as a striking cut flower for unique floral arrangements.
