Uniform Poinsettia Trials
Report from the
North Central Region
2002 Season

Uniform Poinsettia Trials were conducted in 2002 at nine land grant universities across the United States.  Jeff Kuehny (Louisiana State University) coordinated the effort, and five poinsettia suppliers provided plant materials.  This web site displays the results from the two sites in the North Central Region:  Kansas State University in Manhattan, KS [contact Kim Williams], and the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, IL [contact Daniel Warnock].
