This fabulously novel variegated cockscomb from antiquity has been brought back from obscurity! This color was described as a beautiful and unusual floral oddity in “The Country Gentleman’s Magazine,” a British periodical from 1874. It was offered by several catalogs of that era, and the dueling tones are a playful riot of color. Alien-like combs sit atop three-foot tall plants.
