Trial: Annual

Years Trialed: 2000

Good Qualities

Great color (6); Very nice (2); Strong stems (2); Nice long stems, easy to pick; Prolific grower, uniform; Red stem very attractive, useful in bouquet making, easy, different form, re-grows if cut back hard early enough in the season (spaced 8 x 10 inches) (Zone 7a); Good spike flower height in late summer; Nice sprays – each cut has multiple branches; Dries well; Even, uniform, less falling over than others; Many stems did great under adverse conditions; Was different, florists either loved it or hated it; Good filler.

Problems

None (3); Not a particularly striking shape (flower form), flower nearly too long for easy mixed bouquet use, some have cockscomb types; Might be slightly more sensitive to cold temperatures than other celosia, takes several to make color statement; Foliage is green in my field, doesn’t look like picture in Johnny’s Seed Catalog; Could not sell as straight bunch at farmer’s markets, too spiral for good bouquet mix; Good length first cut, then subsequent cuttings were too short for our fresh bouquets; Need to be kept harvested so heads don’t get too long and seedy.

Comments

Similar to Enterprise Wine Red but taller (3) and to Plumed Wheat Celosia; Everyone liked this one!; Would grow in small quantities to see what market does; Burgundy rose flower color, Flamingo type, 1 layer of strings used.
