Marble Star Poinsettia
Euphorbia pulcherrima 'Marblestar' is a large bracted poinsettia, featuring pink-and-white bracts (flowers). This cultivar of poinsettia features salmon pink bracts edged in cream. The ultimate size of the plant depends on the size of pot it is grown in and the growth regulators applied to control height and pinching to encourage branching. Place plants in a sunny location and avoid overwatering or cold drafts.
In the wild in Mexico, this species can reach 12' in height but rarely is as bushy or well branched as greenhouse grown plants.
