Celosia is featured in the Lost Crops of Africa as an important and beautiful green vegetable. While we primarily know it for it’s gorgeous flowers, shown here through a loupe (except that center photo - I snuck a dahlia in), in places like Nigeria, Benin, and Congo, it’s nutritious, protein-rich, and stamina-building greens “are primarily eaten in a dish prepared from various vegetable greens, combined with onion, eggplant, hot peppers, palm oil (or other vegetable oil), and fish or meat. Sometimes, peanut butter is also added as a thickener. All the ingredients are added to one pot, and brought to a steady boil to produce a tasty and nutritious ‘soup.’” We offer seeds for this “Feathery Plume Celosia” Truelove Seeds, and while we primarily grow them as cut flowers and as a seed crop, we sometimes also prepare them as callaloo. #featheryplumecelosia #celosiaargentea #plumecelosia #lostcropsofafrica #seedkeeping #seedsaving https://www.instagram.com/p/B3lKTIogZbr/?igshid=2hetvi0cd12k

Meet Celosia spicata ‘Xantippe’ 🤍💖 . I’ve just put some seed packets up on the shop. One tiny seed makes a 24”x30” plant that’s a prolific bloomer. Leaves start off a silvery blue green and age to a vibrant red during late summer . As a fresh cut flower they have a vase life of up to two weeks or they can be cut when blooms are fully open and hung to dry. . Pollinator magnet and deer resistant. . . . #celosia #celosias #celosiaargentea #celosiaspicata #celosiaargenteaspicata #celosiaxantippe #xantippe #cutflower #cutflowers #cutflowergarden #annualflowers #annualflowerseeds #flowerseeds #pollinatorgarden #pollinatorfriendly #plantforpollinators (at Bremerton, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTvgxhOJfb6/?utm_medium=tumblr
