A new and distinct poinsettia cultivar originating as a sport of the Hegg variety disclosed in U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,962 and distinguished by the bright red color of its relatively large bracts which have stronger stems and by its early blooming characteristic, especially when grown in the northern latitudes under the poor growing conditions of reduced light intensity and duration. This plant is medium to short in height, compared to currently produced varieties, is self-branching with many side shoots whether pinched or unpinched, and its rooting habit is uniform and fast. When grown for blooming at the same time as most other Hegg varieties, this plant may be grown at a lower temperature than usually required.
