Poinsettia is a popular semi-evergreen shrub well known as a Christmas ornamental or used as a houseplant. Its large dark green foliage creates a low mound and is topped by huge colorful bracts around tiny flower clusters from winter through spring. Grows best with bright indirect sun and moist well-drained soils. Only grows to 2-3ft when potted.
The color selections offered are red, pink, or white. The color will be random.
