Poinsettia Favorites from Mitchell’s Nursery and Greenhouse
This year, Mitchell’s Nursery & Greenhouse grew more than 12,000 poinsettias in 96 varieties. A survey of the company’s varieties took place from Nov. 27-Dec. 10, giving customers a chance to see all the poinsettias on display and vote on their favorites.
Three plants of every variety were displayed for voting and fell into one of four categories: red, novelty, white, and pink. The top five favorites in each category were voted for. This year, Mitchell’s also had a fill-in section for people to write in their three favorites overall.
Following heavy local publicity, Mitchell’s announced its Voting Event via its e-newsletter and through social media. Here’s a closer look at the voting results, from Judy Mitchell at Mitchell’s Nursery & Greenhouse
