VARIETY INFORMATION 3. 'Christmas Magic Red' - This is one revenue dense poinsettia. I think this red from Selecta One really hits the mark on their goal for high density production of poinsettias. This large classic cyathia finishes almost like something out of a Norman Rockwell painting. All of the sites I visited had this variety finishing beautifully. This is truly a good poinsettia for both southern and mass market production. 4. 'Christmas Mouse' - A very unique introduction, this is both a novelty and a full production red. Unlike any other poinsettia I have seen before, this one from Selecta One has round edges on the bract instead of points or any other type of ang le. 'Christmas Mouse' is also a very versatile grower and could finish in anything from a 4-inch to an 8-inch pot. 5. 'Early Polly's Pink' - This Dümmen Orange upgrade on a previous variety is a true performer. It showed no heat delay even in the high heat and humidity at Seville Farms. 'Early Polly's Pink' still has strong enough vigor to fill multiple sizes of pots depending on the transplant date. The stems are strong and support the sizable watermelon pink bracts. 6. 'Imperial' - For growers in the South that often find Prestige problematic, this may be the solution for you. It is a true 8-week poinsettia without heat delay. It might even be a 7.5-week variety from the finish times I witnessed this year. 'Imperial' also has the strongest stems in all of the Dümmen Orange poinsettia lineup. 7. 'Orange Glow' - Selecta One really brought a never before seen color to the poinsettia world. This is a wonderful upright introduction. For Northern growers, this will most likely finish for your Thanksgiving week sales as a 7.5-week variety. I did see a bit of heat delay in Texas. The bracts are enormous and showy. The color really jumped out at me looking across a sea of poinsettias. 8. 'Prestigious Red' - Prestige, which has been a flagship for the Dümmen Orange poinsettia genetics for as long as I can remember, adds this wonderful gap filler. It finishes about a week later than Early Prestige and a week earlier than standard Prestige. As this cultivar is out of the same genetic breeding program as the well-known Prestige, you can expect all of the wonderful characteristics such as large finishing bracts and that sharp Prestige Red color. 22 FEBRUARY 2021 GPNMAG.COM 5 6 3 4 7 8http://www.GPNMAG.COM
