Celosia Shines as a Flowering Jewel
In the heart of the Netherlands, nursery Bos Bloomen pauses its production of Celosia during the winter months, only to resume as the days grow longer and sunnier. This resilient and colourful bloom, known for its ability to glisten in sunlight, has become a favourite among florists and consumers alike.
Bos Bloomen offers an exceptional range of Celosia, with the pink variety 'Act Rima' and a striking green Celosia being standout favourites. The assortment also includes the Act series, offering robust flowers in five vibrant colours, and the Reprise series, both developed by Evantia.
The first harvest of Bos Bloomen's Celosia is packed under the Decorum label, ensuring the highest standards of length, sturdiness, and uniformity. Subsequent harvests are also beautiful, but not of the same quality as Decorum. A soft pink variant of Celosia also exists, but its limited demand means it's primarily produced for specific growers.
The cultivation process at Bos Bloomen focuses on careful growth and selection to produce vibrant, high-quality Celosia varieties. Known for its ease of growth and tolerance to heat, Celosia is suitable for warm climates or controlled nursery environments.
Celosia's popularity among florists is due to its unique and vibrant coloration, distinctive texture and shape, relative ease of cultivation, and resilience to heat. Bos Bloomen's focus on quality and selection ensures consistent flower quality that florists can depend on.
As the future unfolds, there is an exciting development of a purple variant of Celosia, which would complement the existing series. The cultivation of Celosia at Bos Bloomen takes place from week 13 through week 48, extending from early spring to late autumn.
Celosia is more than just a flower - it is a statement piece, a symbol of Dutch horticultural mastery, and a true jewel in every bouquet. About 50-65% of Bos Bloomen's Celosia flowers meet the strict criteria for the Decorum label, ensuring consistent excellence every season. Approximately 35% of the production is offered as mixed bouquets featuring lighter, more delicate blooms.
The Reprise series of Celosia has been expanded with the addition of 'Gold,' a new, shimmering hue. The greenhouses at Bos Bloomen house a variety of vibrant Celosia flowers, celebrated for their velvety texture and intense hues. The Reprise series is ideal for use in early and late seasons, with lighter colors and finer blooms, making them perfect for transitional bouquets.
