Buy these Poinsettias:

  • Choose a poinsettia plant with dark green foliage down to the soil line.
  • Choose poinsettia plants with bracts (modified leaves) that are completely colored.
  • The poinsettia should look full, balanced and attractive from all sides.
  • The poinsettia plant should be 2 1/2 times taller than the diameter of the container.
  • Check the poinsettia's maturity. Check the true flowers which are located at the base of the colored bracts. If the flowers are green or red-tipped and fresh looking the bloom will "hold" longer than if yellow pollen is covering the flowers.

The flowers are their product and arranging them, storing them and delivering them are some of the services.

Growers provide you with a product, the flowers and materials to arrange them. Delivery is done by a shipping company such as FedEx. Delivering with a shipping service means a much wider coverage area for grower direct deliveries than traditional florists.

The comparison chart below should help decide which is best for you.
