Abstract
The present invention describes a Poinsettia cultivar, designated `Goldfinger`, that is vigorous and self-branching, having a medium to tall height with bright red flower bracts. `Goldfinger` originated as a seedling from the cross pollination of cultivar 15-84 (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,310) and cultivar `Angelika` (U.S. Plant No. 5,492). `Goldfinger` is more vigorous, and blooms earlier than `Angelika`, the cultivar it most closely resembles. `Goldfinger` has fewer bracts than `Angelika`, and they are smoother than those of `Angelika`. The cyathia retention is longer for `Goldfinger` than `Angelika`.
