Poinsettias originally come from Mexico but their fabulous warm red colours are a traditional part of christmas festivities. Also known as the 'christmas rose', poinsettia plants make great seasonal gifts.
These are really quality poinsettias grown in Sussex and with a little care will last the whole festive season. We have now sold out of Poinsettias until december 2010 but have lots of other nice flowering plants available from the left hand menu.

'Montezuma, the last of the Aztec kings, would have poinsettias brought into what now is Mexico City by caravans because poinsettias could not be grown in the high altitude.

How to Look After our Plants
Looking after your Large Poinsettia
These instructions are sent with the plant gift
Your Poinsettia will flower for many weeks if you follow a few basic rules. Just remember they come from Mexico – and are built for hot days and warm nights.
The leaves and bracts are quite tender, and can be damaged by cold draughts, or too much heat. If they are near a window, don’t let them get too close to the glass and try to keep them a distance from any radiators.
Most people treat their poinsettias as annuals and throw them out once the festive season is over. However with a little care your Poinsettia will flower again next year.
If you want to keep your plant going for next Christmas, after flowering, give the plant a rest. You can decrease the water and let the bracts drop. In summer repot into a larger pot. Make sure the soil mass is moistened and place in a sunny window, or in a conservatory. You will need to pinch out the growing shoots to encourage branching and keep the plant growing actively all summer by regular watering and feeding every two weeks with a complete soluble fertilizer. If you can keep your plant looking healthy until next autumn it should provide you with a beautiful show again in time for next Christmas.
