Planting Your Christmas Poinsettia

Getting a Poinsettia plant to re-bloom outside of a controlled environment can be difficult, requiring 14 hours of complete darkness each day for 14 weeks with a constant temperature. However growing an attractive plant in the yard is possible with a minimal amount of care and protection from freezing as with other tropicals.
They can be cut back and planted in bright, indirect sunlight. When planted in a protect area they can reach a height of 6' but will probably get leggy if not routinely pruned.
