In our San Diego flower shops and on our website, we have a poinsettia collection that you can order from for delivery or in-store pickup. First, we have poinsettias available in red, white, or marble based on what is on hand when placing your order. Second, these poinsettia plants can be displayed in a wide selection of containers, including baskets and woven choices, ceramic containers, and geometric design containers. Also, you can choose to buy them as a single, double, or even triple-sized poinsettia plant. Many of our poinsettia plants are also on sale! Then, we have some special holiday arrangements that include a poinsettia plant like these: HOLIDAY BASKET This holiday basket includes one red poinsettia and a white cyclamen, which are displayed with a green pothos and dieffenbachia. A plaid taffeta ribbon finishes off this special gift. CHRISTMAS CRATE This festive wooden crate includes a poinsettia, a small rosemary tree, a jade plant, and other seasonal greenery. POINSETTIA PLANTER A holiday poinsettia is combined with other seasonal green plants in a white ceramic container for a tabletop dish garden.
