Poinsettia Trials

Summary:

The rich, rosy pink bracts of this novelty are a darker version of the Monet Early. The pink flecks are so dense that the bracts appear almost solid rosy red from a distance. While the bract color and pattern of Early Twilight are somewhat similar to the older and popular Monet Twilight, the two cultivars are not related and, except for the bracts, are distinctly different. The plant flowers early to mid-season and has dark green foliage. This very compact cultivar would be best grown in small pots up to 6 ½-in. pots, and will require additional vegetative growth time. For planning purposes, a schedule similar to that of Premium Red could be used.
