Celosia spicata Celway™ Purple is a high-quality, modern cut flower beloved by both professional growers and florists seeking unique colors and refined textures. This variety is distinguished by its slender, upward-growing flower spikes in an intense deep purple to violet palette. The vigorous stems, excellent vase life, and luxurious color make Celway™ Purple an absolute favorite in cut flower cultivation.
Unlike the classic feather dusters of Celosia plumosa, Celosia spicata forms elegant, elongated, pointed flower spikes. The Celway™ Purple series is unique in this respect, with its deep, saturated purple and violet hues that instantly add depth and character to any bouquet.
The flowers are subtly velvety and have a refined texture that looks particularly good in both modern arrangements and lush field bouquets. Thanks to its consistent color and uniform blooms, this variety is very popular with growers who strive for a reliable and professional product.
One of the reasons Celway™ Purple is so popular among cut flower growers is the quality of its stems. The plants produce sturdy, straight stems averaging 60–80 cm, depending on location and cultivation method. This length makes the variety ideal for vases, large bouquets, and floral arrangements.
The sturdy structure of both stems and flower heads ensures that the flowers are highly resistant to transport, making them widely used in the professional flower trade and export.
Celosia spicata Celway™ Purple is known for its long vase life. When harvested at the right time, the flowers typically remain fresh and attractive for 10 to 14 days. The spikes retain their deep color exceptionally well, even after they have fully faded.
Celway™ Purple is also excellent as a dried flower. When harvested at the right stage and dried upside down, the flowers retain their beautiful purple hues and elegant shape. This makes the plant an excellent choice for both fresh and sustainable dried flower arrangements.
For optimal production of high-quality cut stems, Celosia spicata Celway™ Purple requires a warm and sunny location. Celosia is a heat-loving variety, so it produces excellent results under protected conditions (greenhouse, tunnel), but can also be grown outdoors once the temperature is stable.
