Poinsettia 'Cortez Burgundy'

Deep ruby bracts are much darker than the typical Christmas Red

When you want that traditional Red look in an even more dramatic package we recommend ‘Cortez Burgundy’, with deep ruby bracts that are much darker than a typical Christmas Red. This Red alternative has remained a customer favorite through the years. While newer Art-Style Poinsettias are flashy and edgy, ‘Cortez Burgundy’ keeps the popular traditions alive in a subtle, elegant way.

‘FlameThrower™ Serrano’ with distinctive outlined leaves

We grow several varieties of FlameThrower™ Coleus because we especially like the bold, loud foliage colors. They work well in containers—the leaves have distinctive shapes that add compelling texture to a design. Another plus with this series is that the plants perform equally well in sun or shade. This year we’ve added two new varieties to the line.

• ‘Salsa Roja’ is available in the 4.5-inch pot. It sports a deep burgundy-red that is similar in habit to ‘Habanero’. This dramatic rich tone is a great choice for mixed containers.
• ‘Serrano’ comes in the 1801L flat and the 6-inch pot. It's intriguing bicolor has sharply defined leaves with bright yellow accents—they’re basically outlined in yellow. This is the tightest and most compact of the series.
