Trial: Annual

Years Trialed: 2001

Good Qualities

Rich color (8); Tight fluted, more than one flower per stem – one large and many mini blooms; Uniform, stiff stems, very showy, secondaries grow up over primary, leaf margins reflect flower color, no disease or insect problems, side buds on each secondary branch; Excellent variety; One of the most beautiful red celosias available, large heads; Beautiful form; Good bouquet filler.

Problems

Short stems (5); None (2); Not sure about the side florets – an asset??; As plants matured, the stems were weak/could not support the heavy flower; The heads tend to fall apart; Only produced 1 large flower on short stem; Didn’t have much branching for side stems; Problems with lodging, quite disappointing; Plants took too long to bloom (zone 6).

Comments

We grow a lot of celosia – This one is the first true red/scarlet, the plants are a little short compared with other varieties; Plants eventually succumbed to caterpillars; Similar to several other large headed cutting Celosia cristasas – Kurume series, Chief series, Temple Belle series; Quality not as good as ‘Bombay’.
