Fashion Look Mix Cock's Comb

Fashion Look Mix is a compact plume celosia mixture with vivid red, orange, and yellow flowers above green and bronze foliage. Benary describes it for pots, mixed containers, and landscape planting, with average dimensions of about 13 inches tall by 7 inches wide and a sunny exposure. [Benary’s product profile](https://www.benary.com/products/celosia-plumosa-fashion-look/fashion-look-mix-cp0599p) identifies the mix as combining bronze-leaved New Look® with green-leaved Fresh Look and notes its heat tolerance. ## Garden Use Use the narrow form near the front of a sunny annual bed, in a repeated edging-like drift, or in containers where its upright plumes add color above lower companions. The mixture combines multiple flower colors, so individual plants may not show every shade. Celosia flowers are also useful in cutting gardens; the feathery plumes create a softer texture than crested cockscomb. ## Siting and Care Grow in full sun and well-drained soil. Celosia tolerates many soils but struggles in heavy clay or persistently wet conditions; water regularly enough to support good foliage and flowering while allowing excess moisture to drain. [North Carolina Extension’s celosia guide](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/celosia/) describes these general growing needs and notes that plants can reseed. ## Maintenance Remove faded flower heads if you want to limit self-seeding, and water container plants as their mix dries. Set out young plants after frost danger has passed and give them room for air circulation. This is a warm-season annual in most gardens, so replace it when cold weather ends its display.
