Descripción
Celosia 'Coral Diamond' (Celosia argentea var. cristata), developed for high-end professional floral production, is a stunning cut flower cultivar celebrated for its large, densely brain-crested flower heads and unique coral-pink color. Growing on sturdy, upright single stems reaching 30 to 40 inches in height, it produces broad, velvety cockscomb heads boasting a vibrant blend of warm peach, glowing coral, and soft rose tones. Engineered specifically for high-density commercial production in greenhouses, high tunnels, and field plots, Coral Diamond features high stem rigidity, excellent crop uniformity, and long post-harvest vase life. Its rich, multi-tonal comb structure adds sophisticated color depth, tactile luxury, and eye-catching elegance to fresh floral arrangements and dried botanical designs.
