Variety traits

Plant height — Celosia cristata

Celosia argentea L. var. cristata (L.) Kuntze

Plant height in Celosia cristata is a key varietal trait used in variety testing and determining the purpose of the crop. This parameter strongly depends on the genetics of the cultivar and growing conditions.

In the reference 17 varieties crop Cockscomb, where this is mentioned in the description.

During variety trials, the height of Celosia is measured in centimeters in fully developed plants during the flowering period. The genetically determined height range is extremely broad: dwarf cultivars are 15–35 cm, medium-height cultivars are 40–70 cm, and tall cultivars reach 80–100 cm or more.

Agrotechnical practices depend directly on the habit of the cultivar: tall forms require greater spacing between plants for optimal development. In commercial cut flower production, planting density is 65–86 plants per square meter, and to control height and promote the formation of sturdy stems, apical pruning is applied at the 20–30 cm stage.
