Chief Carmine Celosia

Celosia ‘Chief’ (Celosia argentea cristata) produces large, uniform, globe-shaped flower heads that hold up beautifully under high heat—making it a top performer for summer cut flower production. Known for its dense, velvety crests and consistent form, this series can be direct sown in the field or started indoors for transplanting. Plants grow with a very uniform habit, producing strong stems ideal for harvesting. Dense plantings help produce straight stems and tight, high-quality flower heads. The Chief series thrives in hot, sunny conditions and provides long-lasting, vibrant blooms ideal for fresh or dried floral arrangements.
