Abstract
The present invention describes a Poinsettia cultivar, designated `Pegirl`, that is vigorous and self-branching, having a medium height and large pink flower bracts. `Pegirl` originated as an induced mutation of `Angelika` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,492). The bracts of `Pegirl` are lighter pink than `Dorothee` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,310), the cultivar it most closely resembles. `Pegirl` retains the unique characteristics and growth habits of the Angelika family of poinsettia plants, including prolific multiple branching, full bracts and tight, full cyathia clusters.
