Celosia argentea cristata Cristi Purple
In one word: dazzling! Celosia Cristi Purple has a wide flower comb full of velvety curls with a sensational deep purple colour. In addition, Cristi Purple is very uniform and highly productive. Thanks to the sturdy stems without top leaves, this beauty is also easy to handle. 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 of producing and harvesting top quality in the greenhouse for several seasons, from early spring to late autumn. This allows Cristi Purple to keep up with the production schedule of the faster growing Celosia series, like the Celosia Reprise and Celosia Act series.
