Poinsettia ‘Whitestar’

‘Whitestar’

White has always been an important poinsettia color for us—it’s our second biggest seller behind red. Interestingly, the white version outsells the next most popular shade—pink—by four times, reliably. Classic white puts on a festive show alone or as a stylish neutral complement to our wide range of red, pink, burgundy, and art-style varieties.

‘Love U Pink’

With these brilliant bracts, ‘Love U Pink’ just might emerge as a not-for-Christmas-only variety. Customers have responded enthusiastically to the striking bright pink color, so who knows? One day we might be exchanging poinsettias with our Valentines. For now it’s a fresh alternative to the classic red and white—and subtler pale pink—seasonal selections. 

‘Love U Pink’ is actually a hybrid euphorbia, which explains why it looks a bit different than the typical poinsettia. You’ll notice that the bracts are smaller and there are lots of them, so rather than a wide canopy over the top we get more of a tropical, trailing look that suits this exotic color. If you look closely you’ll also see that the cyathia here are bright green instead of the traditional yellow, creating eye-catching contrast with the hot fuchsia.

Bright pink for a change

We use this variety along with pink Princettias® to brighten baskets and containers for tabletop and desktop displays. It comes in the same 5.5-inch pot size.
