Poinsettia Open HouseDescription
The Macfarlane Greenhouses, a facility of the NH Agricultural Experiment Station, and Thompson School horticultural facility at the University of New Hampshire, will host the popular Poinsettia Trials Open House on Thursday, Dec. 4 through Saturday, Dec. 6. Visitors to the free event, now in its ninth year, will enjoy more than 100 poinsettia varieties and assist in ongoing research.
Poinsettias on display will go far beyond the traditional red to shades of pink, apricot, and deep burgundy; variegations of red, white, and pink shades; and those with names like Red Soul, Prima Donna, Milky Way, Autumn Leaves, Christmas Ribbons, Harlequin Red, Christmas Wish, Sorbet, and Saturnus Marble.Tell a Friend
