Poinsettias

Here are some pictures of the beautiful assortment of Poinsettias in our store right now...it's amazing how many different kinds are available. Many people ask about how to keep these plants alive for future holidays. In truth it isn't easy. Native to Mexico, the Euphorbia pulcherrima grows like a weed...well, actually...is a weed. In our climate the freezes turn them to mush. It is not impossible however, for the ambitious. Poinsettias are wonderfully decorative for the holidays, and are welcomed gifts.
According to the horticultural website, Floridata, poinsettias can reach roof height if grown in the ground. Now, that would be something to see!
