Silver Cock’s Comb (Celosia argentea) – عرف الديك الفضي

Silver Cock’s Comb, known locally as عرف الديك الفضي, is a unique ornamental plant admired for its soft, plume-like silver foliage and delicate flower spikes. Unlike the brightly colored Celosia varieties, this silver form stands out for its elegant, silvery-white leaves that add a striking contrast to garden beds and decorative pots.

In the UAE, Silver Cock’s Comb performs beautifully during the cooler months (October–March), offering a combination of drought tolerance and fast growth. It brings a modern, textural look to landscapes and is commonly used in villa gardens, pathways, mixed borders, and designer planters.

This plant is low-maintenance, heat-resistant once established, and thrives in sunny areas with well-drained soil. Its refined color and feathery texture make عرف الديك الفضي a favorite among landscapers seeking a soft, ornamental accent plant.
