Have You Purchased Your Poinsettias Yet?

If not, look at the ones at Spring Ledge Farm in New London, NH.  They are absolutely beautiful and huge!  They offer white, red, burgundy, Jingle Bells and pink poinsettias, as well as Winter Rose cut flower poinsettias.  Spring Ledge Farm has grown their own poinsettias for 16 seasons now.  The poinsettia industry has trended toward mass-production, with large growers in Canada and the mid-Atlantic flooding the markets.  As they cut costs over the entire crop, the quality of these mass-market plants suffers.

To grow a high-quality poinsettia, with strong branches and healthy, colorful bracts, they space their plants correctly, starting them off with beneficial root microbes and carefully adjusting the growing temperatures as the season progresses.  The poinsettias are grown alongside their cyclamen, which is started from seed the previous January and amaryllis and paperwhites which they force in the Fall.

With their own supply of plants growing in their large greenhouse, they can easily keep the farmstand stocked with fresh color for your holiday needs.
