About Poinsettia
Poinsettia is a perennial shrub native to Mexico. It is most often grown as an annual for winter indoor holiday display, but it can also be grown as a perennial garden shrub in regions where winter temperatures remain above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Also known as Mexican flameleaf, these plants are forced into bloom in time for the holiday season, and they require specific care to look their best into the new year and beyond.
