Abstract

Poinsettia `C-27 Pink` is a stiff-stemmed, vigorous plant with bright pink, erect flower bracts. Cultivar `C-27 Pink`, is a sport of the red bracted `C-27` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,235). `C-27 Pink`, like its parent `C-27`, 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 `C-27 Pink` has the same flowering response time and cultural requirements as its parent `C-27`.
