Celosia ‘Twisted Orange’

Funky and fuzzy—ruffled ‘Twisted Orange’

Here’s a celosia that makes a great partner for ‘Intenz’ that we introduced a few weeks back—the bright orange and magenta make a hot combo. On that note, these are two more heat lovers that deliver color right on into autumn, in shades that work for both seasons of décor. Texture alone is reason enough to use them—they’re funky and fuzzy so everyone wants to touch them.

Ruffled ‘Twisted Orange’ is an example of a crested type celosia, an intriguing complement to the feathery, plume-style flowers of ‘Intenz’. Both bold colors stay vibrant in containers for full sun and look best with regular watering. Add some ‘SolarPower Lime’ ipomoea and you’re good to go.

Unique blooms mix easily

These unique blooms actually mix easily with most other colorful sun and heat lovers—butterflies find them attractive, too. Of course, with fall approaching nothing screams Halloween décor quite like an orange brain-shaped flower. 

‘Twisted Orange’ comes in the 6-inch pot; ‘Intenz’ is available in the 6-inch and the 8-inch sizes.
