Premium Red

Breeder:

Dummen

Summary:

This variety is gaining in importance in the poinsettia market in both cool and warm climates. The plants are strong and have a nice flat bract presentation. In warm climates its low vigor makes it easier and stronger compared to most other reds finishing at the same time. While in cool climates, its stem strength makes a nice large plant when given sufficient production time before the start of short days. Another important feature of this red is the full complement of colors to go with it.
