Description
Celosia 'Reprise Series' (Celosia argentea var. cristata), bred by Evanthia, is a high-performance professional cut flower series celebrated for its large, densely crested ball-shaped flower heads, rich color saturation, and exceptional stem quality. Growing on sturdy, upright single stems reaching 30 to 40 inches in height, it produces broad, globe-like brain-crested heads in brilliant shades including Red, Rose, Orange, and Yellow. Engineered specifically for high-density commercial production in greenhouses, high tunnels, and field plots, the Reprise series features high stem strength, excellent resistance to lodging, and long post-harvest vase life. Its solid, spherical comb structures add dramatic focal impact, saturated color, and unique architectural texture to fresh floral bouquets and dried arrangements.
