While the first four Princettia colors introduced were shades of pink, the new Max White offers growers and retailers a nice clean white in a different form. Unlike the white poinsettias that are typically creamy in color, Max White is a bright white.  Plants produce multiple flowers with smaller bracts and are naturally compact, reducing the need for growth regulators.

Brighten up winter sales by offering Senetti as a gift plant that can be planted outdoors in cool weather. Plants can withstand temperatures as low as 38°F and can be cut back for a fresh reblooming!
