Descripción
Celosia 'Martine Series' (Celosia argentea var. cristata), bred by Evanthia, is a premier professional cut flower series celebrated for its flat, finely fringed cockscomb flower heads, strong stem quality, and exceptional uniformity. Developing sturdy, unbranched stems reaching 28 to 40 inches in height, it produces dense, fan-shaped flower heads in vivid shades including Red, Pink, Rose, Gold, and Orange. Engineered for commercial greenhouse and field cut flower production, the Martine series features high resistance to thrips and excellent post-harvest vase life. Its clean, graphic comb structures bring bold texture, brilliant color, and long-lasting performance to fresh floral arrangements and dried bouquets.
