Art-Style Poinsettias

FN1.6 PPL snowmen mantle 2

Poinsettias with variegation in the bracts are known as novelty varieties but we prefer to think of them as art-style selections. They’re popular with cutting edge designers and historically we’ve seen strong sales on these trendy varieties around Thanksgiving and right after. Each of these plants is unique and makes a strong statement on its own or when used in a combination display.

Here are some of the art-style poinsettias we have this year:

FN1.11 ASP picasso

‘Premium Picasso’—technically a white poinsettia with red flecking; very sophisticated presentation with the higher leaves having more color than the lower ones

FN1.9 ASP prem ice crystal 2

Premium Ice Crystal’—traditional red poinsettias seem to have been dusted with Christmas snow; the variegation is even and uniform, unlike many other poinsettia cultivars

FN1.12 ASP sonora

‘Sonora White Glitter’—showy red bracts have white spots and splashes for a red, white, and green appearance as the bracts mix with the leaves

FN1.14 ASP Jingle Bells

‘Jingle Bell Rock’—distinctive classic red bracts have a blaze of white along the middle with some flecks of white in the red 

FN1.5 ASP mar mar close 2

Marbella Marble’—intense contrast between the narrow creamy white margin and the salmon pink center of each bract; dark green, nearly black foliage provides additional contrast

FN1.7 ASP mars marble close 2

‘Mars Marble’—creamy white bracts have pale pink centers for a softer, more uniform marbling effect

FN1.4 ASP ice punch close 3

‘Ice Punch’—a reversal of the typical marbling color scheme: striking rosy red bracts have feathery white centers; dark green leaves provide contrast

In addition to the standard red and white poinsettias, consider offering some of our eye-catching alternatives this season—you’ll stand out from the crowd. Please refer to the Availability section of our web site for a complete listing of varieties and sizes ready to ship.
