Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the crested celosia type and forms a dense inflorescence in the shape of a "cockscomb." The plant has a single-stem habit without lateral shoots, which allows it to be used in high-density planting. Stem height ranges from 60 to 100 cm depending on growing conditions.

The plant is thermophilic, requires abundant light and well-drained soil. It is sensitive to excessive moisture, which promotes the development of fungal diseases. The variety is suitable for use as a fresh-cut flower and dried flower, maintaining its decorative quality in a vase for up to three weeks.
