Selecta one Poinsettia SK 136 wins LTO Novelty Award 2017
The red Poinsettia SK 136 is a fusion of tradition and modernity. It develops light red bracts on top of the dark greenish leaves with many yellow cyathias in the centre of each bract, thus looking like a traditional Poinsettia. In contrary to the varieties of the past, these cyathias last very long, which ensures a long shelf life for every single plant. Characteristic for the SK 136 is a reaction time of seven weeks, its cleanliness and its good root system. Furthermore, it is easy to grow. It has got an uniform and upright growth and strong stems which are of very good quality. That’s why breakage of branches during packing and transport will be little. SK 136 is very durable and is very well suited for sale in 6 cm pots.
The LTO Novelty Award 2017 reflects the appreciation of a variety which will support growers worldwide marketizing poinsettia to consumers. Especially concerning the packing capacity and the durability SK 136 got a good evaluation by LTO Nederland. Also this year the popular variety Christmas Feelings has proved itself as most durable variety in all evaluated pot sizes.
Each year LTO Nederland presents an award for Poinsettias. Therefore, the organisation compares Poinsettia novelties of selected producers for evaluation and as durability test with the aim of improving quality and getting information of the new varieties for the next year from the producers.
