Hundreds of beautiful poinsettias in a huge array of colors await visitors to the first Poinsettia Trials Open House at the University of New Hampshire Research Greenhouses December 6-8.

This collaborative event brings more than 80 poinsettia varieties developed by breeders to New Hampshire growers and the general public. If you visit, you can help researchers by recording your favorites from among many new and different varieties, including some that aren’t yet available for sale and are being shown for the first time.

The Poinsettia Open House will begin on Wednesday, December 6 and run through Friday, December 8. Hours will be 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Wednesday and Friday, and from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. A broad selection of the many poinsettia varieties will be available for purchase on all three days.

Metered parking will be available at the UNH Visitor Center across from the greenhouses. Please join us in celebrating the season by exploring the amazing diversity of poinsettias.
