What You’ll NeedFirst and foremost: you’ll need a poinsettia. Maybe you’re moving one that’s already in the garden, or you have a potted holiday specimen to transition outdoors. Perfect!
If you’re on the hunt for a new specimen, I can hear what you’re thinking: “But which one should I pick? Which one is best?”
We’re way ahead of you: this round-up features 35 of our favorite kinds of E. pulcherrima, and it will save you some severe paralysis-by-analysis.
