'Tis the Season

Poinsettias are everywhere during the Christmas season! As the top-selling potted flowering plant in the U.S., they continue to be a staple of holiday décor and an important part of the winter season for retailers. With so many poinsettias in the marketplace, offering distinctive varieties is a great way to stand out and give customers something new and exciting to bring home.

At Lucas Greenhouses, we keep a close eye on this ever-changing market by growing almost 150 different varieties through our rooted liner program and regularly trialing new introductions from the three leading poinsettia breeders. These trials help us select varieties that offer spectacular color, strong growth habits, and reliable performance for our customers.

Novelties are a great way to differentiate your poinsettia offering from the competition and add interest and value to your winter sales. Christmas Beauty Prince, from Selecta, lives up to its regal name with striking, mid-sized bracts featuring an almost watercolor-like blend of rich reds and soft rosy hues. Its V-shaped growth habit, thick, sturdy stems, excellent branching, and dark green foliage create a well-balanced, full appearance with dramatic contrast. Christmas Beauty Prince is not only visually stunning, but also a reliable performer with excellent durability and longevity throughout the holiday season.

Papagena is another eye-catching novelty that brings something different to traditional holiday displays, while The Princettia Series offers a distinctive collection of vibrant colors and compact, uniform plants that are ideal for adding a fresh look to the poinsettia category. Together, these specialty varieties give retailers more opportunities to create unique displays and offer customers colors and styles beyond the traditional red poinsettia.

And don't forget Red Glitter, known for its distinctive white flecks against bright red bracts. This customer favorite is consistently one of our first poinsettias to sell out each season, so we recommend ordering early.
