CHUXAY GARDEN Red Poinsettia Shrub Plant Seed 100 Seeds Ornamental Flowering Plant Extremely Decorative Spectacular Display

Poinsettia (botanical name: Euphorbia pulcherrima) has certified itself as the UK’s number one houseplant over the Christmas season. Also known as the Christmas Star flower, the poinsettia originates from Mexico, with over eight million plants sold in the UK every year. Poinsettia flowers from mid-November through to January and is the ultimate Christmas decoration for the home – aside from the Christmas tree, of course. Once Christmas is over, you are free to pop yours on the compost heap or into the recycling bin, use as a cut flower, or you can try to get your poinsettia to bloom again for the following year. The most widely available poinsettia plant is red – the traditional red foliage has been used to enhance homes during the festive season for centuries. But specialist poinsettia breeders have been hard at work over the past few decades in creating more than 150 different varieties, including beautiful pinks, oranges, creams and whites. In fact, poinsettias in warm shades such as apricot, rose, pink or salmon delight homes from as early as October.
