Summary:

Princettia Dark Pink is also new for the poinsettia market. This hybrid plant branches very well and can even be grown without pinching. The plants are very low vigor, with a uniform, mounded habit. The plants have a large number of small bract clusters covering the plant canopy. Bracts are small and dark pink. The color is not as bright as in Luv U Pink and the two cultivars have distinctly different growth habits. Plants show color and flower quickly, but also hold well on the bench due to continued bract development. Princettia Dark Pink is very good for 4- to 5-inch containers and makes a nice 6.5 plant if given enough crop time.
