Poinsettia Colors and Varieties

Poinsettias are a longstanding favorite, with between 70 million and 80 million typically sold for the holidays.

While the standard three- to six-bloom red poinsettia is the most popular, there are several other sizes, shapes and colors available.

Colors can range from creamy white to shades of pink and orange to the traditional red. Also available are marbled bracts of pink and white as well as pink flecks on red. Poinsettias can be purchased in miniature sizes, trees, hanging baskets and even as fresh cut flowers.
