Abstract
The Poinsettia cultivar of the present invention, `268`, is distinguished by its large, bright red bracts which tend to remain erect, even upon commercial shipping. `268` originated as a sport of the seedling `C-27`, which can be grown in a relatively cool greenhouse, making it more economical to grow commercially. `268` displays self-branching traits not present in `C-27`.
