December 8, 2010‘Polar Bear’ poinsettia
Are you running away from red? Try a white ‘Polar Bear’ poinsettia and give your eyes a rest. Give the polar bears a rest too; part of the price of the white poinsettia is donated to Polar Bears International.
Watch a two-part clip from a recent episode of the Martha Stewart show, where Lloyd Traven of Peace Tree Farm shows unusual poinsettias and innovative ways to use them.
P.S. They’re not poisonous.

Very pretty, and useful for those who like blues in their holiday decor and… these could carry on into January, by subtracting any reds and greens you have used. Cool and winter white. thanks, Charlotte!

Oh thank you, my friend for mentioning the not poisonous thing! I wrote an article last year for Fine Gardening that caused quite a stir as I TRIED TO DISPEL THE “deadly poisonous” myth.
LOVE this Polar Bear variety!
