  • Poinsettia plant `140`
    Patent number: PP7874
    Abstract: Poinsettia `140` is a stiff-stemmed, early flowering cultivar with dark red flower bracts. It has dark green foliage and a strong branching habit. The stem length is relatively short and chemical growth retardants may not be needed to control the height of flowering plants. Because of its early flowering `140` can be grown in a relatively cool greenhouse, making it more economical to grow commercially.

    Abstract: Poinsettia `293` is a self-branching cultivar with orange red flower bracts and excellent post-production keeping qualities. It has medium green foliage and a strong branching habit with large, stiff stems. The plant height is medium and the flowers have an erect bract presentation.

  • Poinsettia plant `441`
    Patent number: PP7879
    Abstract: Poinsettia `441` is a stiff-stemmed, early flowering cultivar with dark red flower bracts. It has dark green, medium size foliage and a strong branching habit. The plant height is medium and some chemical growth retardants may be needed to control the height of flowering plants. The appearance and cultural requirements are very similar to Poinsettia `Lilo` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,694). However, stronger self-branching traits and better post-production keeping qualities make `441` a more desirable commercial cultivar than `Lilo`.

  • Poinsettia plant `456`
    Patent number: PP7883
    Abstract: Poinsettia, cultivar `456` is an induced by mutation cultivar, `H518` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,150) with dark red flower bracts and dark green foliage. It branches more freely than `H518`, but retains the same desirable flower and foliage characteristics. The plant height of `456` is somewhat shorter than that of `H518`. The relative shortness of `456` offers certain economic advantages over `H518`, in that, less growth retarding chemicals need to be used to control plant height.

  • Poinsettia plant named 268 White
    Patent number: PP8125
    Abstract: This new Poinsettia cultivar, designated `268 White`, is a vigorous plant with erect, large white bracts. Cultivar `268 White` is a sport of the red bracted cultivar `268` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,275), and, like its parent, 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 White` has the same flowering response time and cultural requirements as its parent `268`.

  • Poinsettia plant `Pegirl`
    Patent number: PP8274
    Abstract: The present invention describes a Poinsettia cultivar, designated `Pegirl`, that is vigorous and self-branching, having a medium height and large pink flower bracts. `Pegirl` originated as an induced mutation of `Angelika` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,492). The bracts of `Pegirl` are lighter pink than `Dorothee` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,310), the cultivar it most closely resembles. `Pegirl` retains the unique characteristics and growth habits of the Angelika family of poinsettia plants, including prolific multiple branching, full bracts and tight, full cyathia clusters.

  • Poinsettia plant `Lilo White`
    Patent number: PP8319
    Abstract: Poinsettia `Lilo White` is a new cultivar, distinguished by creamy white bracts and intense dark green foliage with self-branching characteristics. `Lilo White` is a color sport of the dark red bracted `Lilo` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6694) 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.
