Poinsettia sales rise in Manitoba amid strong season
The Rossburn Review reports a five percent gain in poinsettia sales with larger growers often sold out. Manitoba horticulturalist Jim Portree cites quality cuttings and ideal fall lighting as boosting demand. Local plants show advantages over imports due to sleeve damage and travel conditions. Poinsettias make a popular yuletide gift and can be nurtured indoors after the holidays.
