Over 5 million Poinsettia are sold in the uk at a total value of £25 million, but they need to be kept warm as they wilt as soon as the temperature drops below 50 degrees fahrenheit.

Ready for Christmas.

They are named after the first ambassador to Mexico Joel Roberts Ponsettia who discovered the plant growing by a roadside in 1828. Nursery Manager David Loy said: ''Despite a very challenging year with a cool August and dull autumn the plants are as good or even better than last year, we supply all our plants to Sainsbury's who sell a million of Christmas Roses every year''.
