Celosia spicata Celway™ Red is a premium cut flower for both professional flower growers and creative florists seeking striking color and clean vertical lines in their arrangements. This variety combines robust, straight stems with fiery, deep red spike flowers that retain their intense color for weeks. Celway™ Red is known for its reliability, high uniformity, and luxurious appearance—ideal for bouquets, floral arrangements, and dried flowers.
The slender, upward-sloping flower spikes of Celosia spicata make a powerful visual statement. While Celosia plumosa has loose panicles, Celosia spicata forms distinct, pointed spikes with a unique texture. In Celway™ Red, these spikes are a deep, saturated red with occasional subtle sheen, making them an instant standout in any bouquet.
The color is robust, intense, and strikingly bright—perfect for contrasting with soft pastels or for bold, monochrome bouquets. The texture of the ears is soft, yet firm enough to create modern, elegant lines in arrangements.
One of Celway™ Red's greatest qualities is its production of long, strong stems. Under good growing conditions, the plant reaches a height of 60–80 cm, making it particularly suitable for cut flower use. The stems are sturdy, straight, and resistant to transport, making them ideal for the professional flower trade.
The uniform growth ensures a consistent end product, something that both flower growers and florists value highly.
Celosia spicata Celway™ Red is known for its long vase life, typically 10 to 14 days. The stems don't dry out quickly and retain their intense red color exceptionally well. This keeps bouquets with Celway™ Red looking fresh and vibrant for a long time.
The flower also lends itself perfectly to dried flowers. When harvested just before full bloom and dried upside down, the flowers retain their characteristic red hue and firm texture. This makes Celway™ Red a favorite in trendy, natural dried flower arrangements.
Like all Celosia spicata varieties, Celway™ Red thrives in warm conditions. Both greenhouse and summer outdoor cultivation deliver excellent results.
Sowing: from February–March in a warm growing environment.
Prick out and plant out: after the last frost, preferably in an airy, nutritious, well-drained soil.
Planting distance: 20–30 cm to encourage strong stems and good air circulation.
Water: regularly, but never wet for long periods; Celosia does not tolerate waterlogging.
Feeding: Apply flowering plant fertilizer weekly for optimal stem quality and production.
Support: In open field cultivation, a grid net can be useful for extra stability.

Regular harvesting encourages new flower formation, keeping the plant prolific and productive throughout the summer.
