Poinsettia Trial & Variety Day

“Testing the Best in the Midwest”

Poinsettia Variety Day: Thursday November 30, 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM

Proving Poinsettia Performance

The Plantpeddler Poinsettia Trial is proven as one of the premier trials in the country, and the northern most trial in the United States. It reflects commercial production under variable Fall conditions of the Upper Midwest. This trial is grown with minimal enhancement of growth regulators, to show natural vigor and habit of varieties. See our side-by-side comparisons of over 160 commercial and pre-release varieties, produced under true production protocols and environmental conditions.

“It’s so nice to have a grower like Plantpeddler who commits themselves to grow this beautiful trial, and to grow it fairly and give us a real representation of how these plants perform in this environment.” —Karl Trellinger, Syngenta Flowers
