The present invention comprises a new and distinct variety of poinsettia, botanically known as Euphorbia pulcherrima and hereinafter referred to by the variety name ‘NPCW14233’. ‘NPCW14233’ is a selection from a branch mutation from the poinsettia variety ‘NPCW10158’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 22,580).
In November/December of 2008 a branch mutation was discovered on the poinsettia variety ‘NPCW10158’ in Nairobi, Kenya. Vegetative cuttings of the branch mutation were taken and propagated. In October of 2009, a single plant was selected in Stuttgart, Germany. In May of 2010, ‘NPCW14233’ was first asexually propagated by apical vegetative cuttings. ‘NPCW14233’ was found to reproduce true to type in successive generations of asexual propagation via apical vegetative cuttings in Stuttgart, Germany.
