Christmas Aurora is a great choice for December poinsettia sales. Its upright, narrow habit and medium bract size are ideal for higher density production and dependable shipping. Aurora features intense red bracts, and a narrow shape that makes it easy to sleeve. This reliable, predictable poinsettia works well in 6-in. (15-cm) pots. Plus, it is early to color but late to flower – providing an outstanding shelf life at retail and long-lasting enjoyment for the consumer.

Cool Finish (24 hrs avg.): 63°F / 17°C

Indicates minimum temperature starting two weeks after the beginning of short days. Please note that a crop grown cooler requires more time to finish (4 to 7 days), and will have smaller bracts and darker color (for example, white may turn cream-yellow). Toward the end of the crop (two weeks prior to shipping), slowly lower the temperature for green-leafed varieties to 65°F (18°C) day/night and dark green-leafed varieties to 63°F (17°C) day/night.
