Poinsettia Trials

Breeder:

Selecta/Ball

Summary:

This cultivar has distinctive large bright pink bracts that are a better color than most pink cultivars and is a more true pink compared to Christmas Beauty Pink. Plants have medium to high vigor with strong stems and an upright shape. In Florida, the plants looked very good, but finish timing was late and there was noticeable reduction in bract size from PGRs. Flowering was late in North Carolina and late November in Ontario. Christmas Lights has a plant habit that could be used in all pot sizes and the distinctive color would justify it being used as a stand-alone pink. For use in early markets, backcloth would be needed.
