The Season of Poinsettias Is Almost Here!

As the holiday season approaches, one plant begins to take the spotlight—the poinsettia. With its bright red, pink, or white leaves, this festive favorite is a symbol of Christmas cheer and warmth.

What Is a Poinsettia?

Despite what many people think, those colorful “petals” aren’t actually flowers—they’re called bracts, which are modified leaves. The true flowers are the small yellow buds found at the center. Native to Mexico, poinsettias naturally bloom in winter when the days are shorter, which makes them perfectly timed for the holiday season.

Why We Love Them

Poinsettias instantly bring a touch of Christmas to any space—whether they’re brightening your front entryway, adding color to a dining table, or gifting a friend a little seasonal joy. They come in many shades now, from classic crimson to soft cream and even marbled varieties.

Caring for Your Poinsettia

With just a little care, poinsettias can last well beyond the holidays. Keep them in bright, indirect light, and water when the top of the soil feels dry, being careful not to let them sit in excess water. They prefer cozy indoor temperatures—just like us this time of year!
