Double Poinsettia Basket - 6 inch

We built this basket for the people on your list who can't decide on just one plant. Two matching six-inch poinsettias, dressed alike in the same ribbon, remind our designers of porch pots lining a neighborhood every December. It's ready to send as soon as the holidays roll around.

What's in this basket, how the color works, and what to know before you send it.

What's Included in This Basket: Two six-inch poinsettia plants send together in one wicker basket, dressed with ribbon and ornaments. Ribbon color may vary slightly, though the overall look stays festive and gift-ready. Poinsettia plants like these carry a Mexican legend behind their red and green color, a favorite for loved ones every christmas poinsettia season.

Red and Green Color: Each plant's bracts turn a deep red as the weather cools, set off by dark green leaves. Those bracts are actually modified leaves surrounding the plant's small true flowers, which is what gives a poinsettia its color.

Standard, Deluxe, and Premium Sizes: Every tier includes two six-inch poinsettia plants. Standard keeps the trim simple, Deluxe adds ornaments and a fuller bow, and Premium is the most fully dressed of the three.

Good Occasions for This Gift: Send this to a hostess, a coworker, or someone recovering at a care facility this season. It suits a hospital room or a holiday table just as easily as a front porch, and works as a simple hello to family near or far.

Delivery During the Holidays: We offer same-day delivery in most areas nationwide, and our relay service reaches friends and family farther out during the busy holiday season. Every basket arrives hand-delivered so the ribbon and ornaments arrive dressed exactly as shown.

• Give each plant bright, indirect light and water once the soil feels dry to the touch.
• Keep it away from cold drafts and sudden temperature swings, and it should hold its color well past Christmas Eve.

• Our designers may substitute ribbon, accent stems, or basket trim of equal or greater value if a specific item runs out, keeping the same color scheme and quality.
• The poinsettia plants themselves are never swapped for a different flowering plant.

What is the legend behind the poinsettia?

According to one well-known story, a child in Mexico had only weeds to place at a nativity scene, and by the next morning the weeds had turned into bright red flowers. That tale is tied to the plant Joel Roberts Poinsett brought back from Mexico, which is why the poinsettia is so closely linked to Christmas today.

Do you carry this basket in white instead of red?

This basket arrives in the classic red most shoppers want for the season, but poinsettias also come in white and pink. Ask us about poinsettia delivery in another shade if you'd like something different.
