Abstract
Poinsettia `Lilo Pink` is a new cultivar, distinguished by dark pink bracts and intense dark green foliage with self-branching characteristics. `Lilo Pink` is a color sport of the dark red bracted `Lilo` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,694) with the same flowering response and cultural requirements. The new plant produces a very desirable branched flowering pot plant. The new plant is resistant to epinasty after being confined to shipping containers and recovers rapidly if the plant does become epinastic. The post-production foliage and bract retention is excellent even under low light intensities in the consumer's home.
