A closer look at this poinsettia is below, from what's included to care and delivery.

What's Included With This Poinsettia Plant: One poinsettia arrives in a charming basket planter, gift ready the day it arrives. Basket style may vary slightly, helping spread holiday cheer true of every christmas poinsettia we send.

Red and Green Colors: The bracts turn vibrant red as the weather cools, set off by dark green leaves. The bracts are modified leaves around tiny true flowers on sturdy stems, what makes this christmas flower so recognizable. Growers have also raised a white poinsettia with soft white leaves, though wild poinsettias native to Central America and Mexico show this deep red color.

Size and Presentation: This poinsettia comes as a single, full plant specimen in its basket planter, an easy fit for a desk, counter, or entry table. Pick this simple size to suit your holiday season budget, however many plants you plan to send.

Occasions for Loved Ones: Send this christmas poinsettia gift to a hostess, a coworker, or the nursing homes nearby. It suits a hospital room or a family table just as easily, and works during the holidays as a simple hello, a gift of flowers for friends and family.

Poinsettia Plant Delivery: We offer same day delivery in most areas nationwide, and our relay sends this poinsettia farther out during the holidays. Every order is hand delivered so the basket arrives exactly as our designers dressed it.

• Give this plant indirect sunlight and water once the soil feels dry.
• Keep it from cold drafts and temperature shifts to protect its color, and keep pets clear.
• Six weeks of total darkness each year bring new growth and rebloom for the following holiday season, the same cycle ancient Aztecs used to treat fevers, long before it became a holiday gift.

• Our designers may substitute the basket planter or accent trim for one of equal or greater value if a specific item runs out, keeping the same color scheme and quality.
• This poinsettia itself is never swapped for a different flowering plant.

What is the Mexican legend behind the poinsettia?

According to legend, a child had only weeds to place at the nativity on Christmas Eve, and by Holy Night the weeds had turned into bright red flowers for the Baby Jesus. That story, tied to the Euphorbia pulcherrima plant Joel Roberts Poinsett brought from Mexico, is central to christmas celebrations and hope each year.

Can I get a white poinsettia instead of red?

This basket showcases the poinsettia's classic red color most shoppers want for christmas. Poinsettias and other holiday flowers come in white and pink too, so ask about poinsettia delivery in another shade this season.
