Description
Celosia 'Jack Series' (Celosia argentea var. plumosa), is a premier professional cut flower series celebrated for its dense, vibrant feathered plumes, exceptional stem length, and uniform performance. Growing on sturdy, upright single stems reaching 30 to 40 inches in height, it produces lush, flame-like feathery flower heads in brilliant shades of Red, Orange, Yellow, and Crimson. Engineered specifically for high-density commercial cut flower production in fields and greenhouses, the Jack series features strong stem rigidity and long post-harvest vase life. Its soft, architectural plumes add dramatic height, vibrant color, and rich textural contrast to fresh floral bouquets and dried botanical arrangements.
