Description
Celosia 'Bar Bossa' (Celosia argentea var. cristata), bred by Evanthia, is a premier professional cut flower cultivar celebrated for its large, intricately crested flower heads and elegant, soft champagne-cream color. Developing sturdy, unbranched single stems reaching 30 to 40 inches in height, it produces broad, velvety cockscomb heads in a delicate, warm ivory shade infused with subtle champagne undertones. Engineered specifically for commercial greenhouse, high tunnel, and field production, the Bar Bossa series features excellent stem strength, exceptional uniformity, and outstanding post-harvest vase life. Its sophisticated neutral hue and unique tactile structure bring refined elegance, soft texture, and high-end appeal to wedding arrangements, neutral floral designs, and dried botanical compositions.
