Poinsettia Spotlight On: Christmas Season

Here is the third red poinsettia that is being highlighted in this year's offerings.  We have Christmas Season in a 6 inch pot that will be pinched for multi-flowering.


According to Selecta......
The brand new, early-season Christmas
Season series presents a high-quality

look thanks to its large, showy bracts
with thick, long-lasting centers and
thick, sturdy stems. The energy-effi cient
varieties have dark green foliage,
excellent branching, and very good
post-harvest characteristics. These
medium-vigor plants are adaptable to a
wide variety of product forms.

This type of poinsettia will lend itself well to table
sized poinsettias rather than the large, 10-14 inch
containers.  The new varieties are definitely making
more and more decorating options available.  Today,
we can plant vigorous, medium vigorous and shorter growing varieties.
