Celosia 2027

Celosia Blooming worldwide Our vision on Celosia: At Evanthia, we see Celosia as a crop that is a perfect showcase for breeding excellence. The stylish, premium appearance of the blooms demand attention and give a luxurious feel to bouquets and arrangements. Evanthia’s Celosia cristata assortment sets the quality standard at a very high level. We build value into every product at each step of the breeding and seed production process, so that growers experience that same value in the cultivation process. The flower trade, floral designers and florists ultimately benefit from all the added value to create their own value for the consumer. To expand our value proposition, we carefully select the finest series on the market to complement our breeding assortment, such as Celosia plumosa, ensuring that growers can count on Evanthia for all their Celosia needs. Evanthia is driven by collaboration. We work closely with growers, traders and partners to develop and strengthen Celosia in the market. With a clear focus on quality, we are constantly working to add more value to this beautiful premium crop.

“Celosia can be a challenging crop, but with our experience and Evanthia’s Act series, we consistently achieve excellent quality. Unlike many Celosia varieties, Act produces fewer seeds in the flower heads, helping to reduce the risk of mould. This gives us reliable production and a high percentage of harvestable stems. The large flower combs and strong colours are important features, Act Verda is a personal favourite!” Feiko Sonneveld, Celosia Grower
