Our Poinsettias have arrived, and we have lots of bright colors to choose from!

Here are 3 fun facts you may not know about Poinsettias:

🌿Poinsettias aren’t deadly! They can be irritating but not fatal if eaten.

🌿The red parts of the plant are not flowers but modified leaves called bracts. The flower is at the very center, and the bracts help attract pollinators. See our post for a photo description of each part.

🌿Poinsettias are actually perennial plants, meaning they can be planted and will thrive year-round in our grow zone.

Anybody can sell you plants, we make sure you succeed.
