Highlights from Plantpeddler’s Poinsettia Variety Day

Attendees at Plantpeddler's Poinsettia Variety Day 2023

Poinsettia breeders, growers, and other attendees who descended upon Cresco, IA, for Plantpeddler’s Poinsettia Variety Day were greeted with a nearly perfect sunny late November day. More than 175 commercial and pre-release poinsettia varieties were featured for evaluation and review.

The event took place on Thursday, Nov. 30, with representatives from all commercial poinsettia breeders, brokers, and growers in attendance from 18+ states. The trial was produced under natural season, commercially sustainable production protocol using limited plant growth regulators. In addition, Mike Poretsky of A-ROO presented value-added upgrade treatments and packaging.
