Celosia Dragons Breath 300mm

Celosia ‘Dragon’s Breath’ is a bold, eye-catching ornamental foliage plant grown for its intense deep red to burgundy leaves and dramatic upright form. Known for its rich colour and long-lasting performance, it adds instant impact to garden beds, pots and feature plantings.

Unlike traditional flowering celosias, Dragon’s Breath is prized primarily for its dense, richly coloured foliage, which holds its colour well through the warmer months. The strong, upright growth habit makes it an excellent choice for statement containers, mass planting or contrast planting alongside green or silver foliage plants.

Thriving in full sun to part shade, Celosia Dragon’s Breath is heat tolerant, fast growing and well suited to Australian conditions. Supplied in a 300mm pot, this is a large, established plant that delivers immediate colour and presence in the garden.
