Euphorbia pulcherrima – Titan Red, Poinsettia

25 – 30cm overall height.
Euphorbia pulcherrima (Syngenta). ‘Titan Red’ has potential to be a larger plant with medium or slightly greater vigor. The plants have strong stems and slightly wide growth habit that benefits from using rings. Branching is good and the plant produces enough shoots to fill out larger pots. The medium sized bracts are bright red and presented on top of the plant. Titan Red flowered midseason at NCSU under natural days and in seven and a half weeks with photoperiod control in the Florida trial. ‘Titan Red’ will produce a fuller appearance and size will be easier to control. ‘Titan Red’ has the characteristics to make very nice plants in 6-inch and larger sizes. It should work also in 41⁄2-inch products with appropriate adjustments to schedules and growth regulator use.
