'Shimmer' Celosia – Bred by Johnny's Selected Seeds
This is 'Shimmer' Celosia from Johnny's Plant Breeding Team. Over an 8 year period, we selected 'Shimmer' for its beautiful range of pastels; early flowering; vigorous plants for cut flowers; and large plumes that are well-formed and airy.
I have here a 20-stem bunch of 'Shimmer.' Hopefully this will give you a sense for the plume form and the range of colors in this mix.
We are proud to offer this bred-by-Johnny's variety and hope it provides you with something unique for your farm or garden.
