Abstract

Poinsettia cultivar `268 Pink` is a sport of cultivar `268` (U.S. Ser. No. 07/263,155) with large, bright pink erect flower bracts. `268 Pink` like its parent `268` is unique because the flower bracts remain erect and do not droop even after commercial shipping and handling or as the flowers mature. It always looks "fresh" which adds to its beauty and increases its value as a consumer product. Poinsettia `268 Pink` has the same flowering response time and cultural requirements as its parent `268`.
