Spotlight on............

Over the next few blogs I will spotlight a certain variety that I am growing.  The first in this series of blogs will be our flagship poinsettia, Prestige and Early Prestige.

Prestige is a star poinsettia because it does everything a grower wants in a poinsettia and does it well.  Included in that list is a great shape.  Ideally, you want to see poinsettias with a nice "V" shape.  Strong branches is another desirable trait.  Prestige and Early Prestige can survive shipping, sleaving, delivery, sleaving, etc quite well.  The stems don't break as easily as some of its predecessors.

Both of these varieties come from Ecke Poinsettias and the color is deep red bracts with dark green leaves.  Early prestige is marketable around mid November for me, while Prestige is ready the first week in December.

It is a winner!
