Abstract
Poinsettia `9-95` is a new cultivar, distinguished by unique dark pink flower bracts, strong stems and self-branching characteristics. `9-95` is a sport of the pink bracted `V-14 Hot Pink` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,497) with the same flowering response and cultural requirements. The new plant produces a very desirable branched flowering pot plant. It is resistant to epinasty after being confined to shipping containers. The post-production foliage and bract retention are good.
