Celosia

Celosia Caracas is a tropical plant that can be kept in pots in the living room, on the balcony or on the terrace in the Northern countries of Europe, provided that it receives sufficient water and nutrients. The root ball must not dry out. In sheltered but sunny places, the plant can also be kept in a bed in the garden and will flower all summer.
The plant has striking deep purple-red panicles.
Very beautiful as a close-up shot.
