A new poinsettia cultivar Noel was bred by the National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science(NIHHS) in 2007. In 2004, a cross was made between Gutbier V-10 Amy , a variety with high free-branching habit and light red bracts, and Ichiban , a variety with deeply lobed transitional leaves and bright red bracts. Noel was finally selected in 2007 after the investigation of observations on the growth and flower characteristics from 2005 to 2007. Noel has smoothly waving red elliptic bracts. Leafblades are dark green and ovate. The variety has relatively long petioles, and stem color is greenish. Noel has high free-branching ability and plant height is medium. Noel s bracts and transitional leaves are fully colored in 7.5 weeks after short day treatment.
