The Plantpeddler Poinsettia Trial reflects commercial production under the variable Fall conditions of the Upper Midwest. The flowers are grown with minimal enhancement with growth regulators to show natural vigor and habit of varieties.
“The Plantpeddler poinsettia comparison trial site reflects the low light growing conditions of many northern parts of the US very well. The trials are very well grown and executed, and this trial site is a critical addition to other key poinsettia trial sites in the US," said Karl Trellinger, Syngenta Flowers.
