Celosia argentea cristata Cristi Purple
In one word: dazzling! Celosia Cristi Purple has a broad comb full of velvety swirls in a sensational deep purple color. Additionally, Cristi Purple is highly uniform and high-yielding. Thanks to its sturdy stems without top leaves, this beauty is also easy to process. A major advantage is that Cristi Purple has a short cultivation period of 8 to 11 weeks and is day-length neutral. This offers the possibility to produce top quality in the greenhouse across multiple seasons and harvest from early spring to late autumn. This allows Cristi Purple to fit well into the production schedules of faster-growing Celosia series, such as the Celosia Reprise and Celosia Act series.
