Celosia spicata 'Flamingo Purple' is a modern and striking cut flower known for its deep purple hues and delicate, elongated flower spikes. This variety combines the airy elegance of spicata Celosia with a rich, bold color that enhances any arrangement. The compact, upright spikes provide structure, color intensity, and a luxurious look, making Flamingo Purple a popular choice among professional growers and florists.
With its strong stems, long shelf life and excellent performance in both fresh and dried flower creations, this variety is one of the premium spicata cutting lines of today.
What sets Flamingo Purple apart is its deep, velvety purple color, which can subtly fade to lilac or dark pink hues towards the tip of the ear. The ears are slender, evenly spaced, and stylishly tapered, creating a modern, minimalist look.
This rich colour makes Flamingo Purple particularly popular in:
luxurious bouquets with deep hues
modern, graphic flower arrangements
hotel and event styling with purple accents
evening and autumn creations
expressive field bouquets
The flower adds depth and contrast without being overpowering, ideal as a colour accent in tone-on-tone purple or in combinations with soft pastels and neutral green tones.
Celosia spicata 'Flamingo Purple' produces straight, strong stems of 70–90 cm, a popular characteristic among cut flower growers. The uniformity of stem height and ear formation makes the variety ideal for professional production, wholesale, and retail.
The sturdy stems are easy to incorporate into floral arrangements and remain stable during transport, making the flower popular for export and high-volume production.
A major advantage of Flamingo Purple is its long vase life, averaging 10–14 days. The spikes retain their intense color and compact shape exceptionally well, even in warmer temperatures or in bright indoor spaces. This makes the flower ideal for:
events and styling projects
bridal work in warm seasons
commercial interior planting
long-term arrangements in hotels or catering establishments
The combination of color strength and staying power makes Flamingo Purple a valuable addition to any bouquet.
Flamingo Purple is popular not only as a fresh cut flower but also as a premium dried flower. When harvested early and dried slowly, the spikes retain their deep purple color remarkably well. The compact flower spikes retain their shape and are ideal for modern, natural, or minimalist dried flower arrangements.

botanical interior decoration
trendy pastel and purple accents
dried wall pieces
sustainable home decor
