Freedom^TM was introduced eight years ago and has quickly become America's top-selling poinsettia. This early-season variety is as easy to grow as it is to sell. Our most forgiving series, it can be easily manipulated with light or grown cool to slow development. The large, showy bracts hold up well at store level and last throughout the holidays.

Freedom Bright Red has a bright red color that shines under fluorescent lighting. Flowers mature 4-5 days later than Freedom Red. The small leaves have an exceptional shelf life and an upright growth habit, reducing branch breakage.
