Locally grown by Palisade Greenhouse in Palisade, Colorado, each plant is individually sleeved and quickly shipped to our stores. The reduced shipping time insures a healthy, vibrant plant. This year our poinsettias are generally as wide as they are tall. They boast not only a strong center stem, but heavy side branching that holds the colorful bracts three to five on each (large blooms) plant Choose from our traditional DARK RED, PINK, WHITE, JINGLE BELLS (red on pink), or MARBLE (pink on white). Lush, dark green foliage accents the bracts no matter what variety you choose. full-bodie- d; ch foil pot wrapper to Weve gotten rid of the introduce our new decorative pot cover that fits better and retains its shape. old-sty- le pre-form- ed With proper care you can expect our poinsettias to last for many weeks after the holidays. Allow full, indirect sunlight to retain the rich green leaves. Strong electric lighting may help, especially if left on overnight. Poinsettias dont like wet feet; water when the soil surface is dry. Some plants need watering daily, some every other day. Keep those bracts colorful by maintaining room temperatures under 72 degrees in daytime or 60 degrees at night Protect your plant from drafts on heating vents. yuiminni(9i V ON SALE NOW! 3C 5 Inch Size First used in Christmas celebrations by Frandsdan friars in 17th century Taxco, Mexico, the poinsettia was imported and cultivated by Joel Robert Poinsett, first United States Ambassador to Mexico.
