Lizzard Leaf Celosia is a dramatic mounding annual with distinct curling spear-shaped bicolor foliage with bronze and burgundy mixed tones. The large bright red, curling plume-like flowerheads bloom from late spring throughout summer. Best bloom in full sun and consistently moist well-drained soils. The Sol series is unbothered by downy mildew.
