Celosia Plumosa
Celosia plumosa · Amaranthaceae
How it looks
Celosia Plumosa is a herb whose soft, slender, feather- or plume-shaped flower heads rise in deep red, pink, yellow, and orange. The plumes are soft and full, like feathers. It reaches about 12-31 in (30-80 cm) tall.
Celosia Plumosa is listed as non-toxic to cats by the ASPCA. An occasional nibble is unlikely to cause any real trouble.
Guide for parents
Even with a safe plant, make a habit of picking up fallen leaves the same day. If your cat likes to dig in or eat potting soil, fertilizer ingredients can upset their stomach — covering the soil with pebbles works well. If it comes home as a cut stem, florists often treat it with preservatives, so place the vase where your cat can't drink the water.
